premerture piggy

Question
i have a premeture piggy i have been hand raising for 5 days she has been active and very hungry but this morning she seems a little lethargic and when fed she it seemed the milk (called, sounds like esisblack) was coming out her nose a little, after feeding she sounds ever so slighltly nasel, i was wondering if she got cold in the night and if i should be giving her a vit c suppliment, also do you know how long until she can eat? she just holds fruit in her mouth doesnt try to eat it.

Answer
Hi Sonia

I have to be honest, this is an area I know nothing about, but perhaps the milk was coming out of her nose because slightly too much was being put into her mouth.

A vitamin c suppliment certainly won't hurt.

Fully developed babies usually can eat solids after just a couple of days, so my guess would be that your pig will eat when she is able to, but I would consult a vet or one of the other experts.
