Question
My Baby Pig has seemed to have sprained her leg and cant put any pressure on it. Can I give her Tylenol for pain??

Answer
Pigs cannot take Tylenol.
What our vet suggests is if a pig injures its leg is no pain relievers until diagnosed (if then).
The pain is telling the pig to stay OFF the leg so it can heal.
Pigs can take aspirin for a short time (3 days) but the chances of your pig feeling better, walking around, and reinjuring the leg are high.
Instead, encourage the pig to stay OFF the leg. Take it in for x rays after 10 days if he is not better! No pain relievers.....
GOOD LUCK!
