This 20 pounder found its way into a group with some bigger 40 pound piglets. I don't have the story as to if this is just the runt or a different litter.
But... the problem. It's strong as can be when held (goes nuts like any pig when you pick it up) and hard to catch, but it is a little lethargic, doesn't eat well, can't fight for it's food since it's the smallest in the batch, and what concerns me most is that it keeps puking up semi thick clear fluid.
I can't really feed it aside because when I separate it from the rest, it whines to be with the group and will fight its way back. Its determined to be with the other pigs. This is good because it can use the body heat from the others. But... it seems to need some attention. Is there anything I can or should be doing to help it along?
