Secretion in my pigs penis

Question

Pig   I have notice that my pig of 5 months since 2 days ago, after going pee a yellow secretion appears in his penis. What should i do!? is this normal? he is acting like usual, eating, going to his box and walking outside.

Answer
I am not a veterinarian and can not make a medical diagnosis over the internet. This may be excess secretion from the preputial diverticulmn, or a sign of infection.

Male pigs are prone to urinary problems because the narrow, twisting urethra can easily clog with crystals.

As long as piggy is acting normal and not straining while he pees, this is probably not serious. Start by washing him off really well with a warm, soapy cloth. Get him really, really clean. The preputial diverticulum may empty. That's a good thing, although it may not smell very good. You can apply an antibiotic ointment if you like. Any ointment made for people can be used on a pig.

Wipe him off after he pees. Wash him two or three times a day. Make sure he is drinking plenty of water. Add a little fruit juice, just a shot or so, to his water to persuade him to drink more.

If he starts straining to pee, or stops eating, or becomes lethargic and develops a fever, he will need to see a vet right away.
