Frothing at the mouth,excessive drinking of water

Question
Hello.  I have a 5 month old female pot bellied pig.  I think my Louise has a problem but not sure.  She takes a bit of food (anything she eats) and then a drink of water, food, water, food, water.  She does this any time she eats.  Also, she has started frothing at the mouth.  Is this a medical problem?  I have another pig 2 months older than she is and she does not do either of those things.
I would appreciate any advise you could give me.

Answer
Hello,
This is very common.  Pigs need lots of water to help digest their food.
The foaming at the mouth is because she is cutting teeth.  This is also very common in pigs.
Pigs get several sets of teeth so not to worry!
Good luck with her,
Patty
