sick pot belly pig

Question
My pig I THINK, has an ear infection. She is falling and can hardly get up. The Vet gave me 500 mg 4 pill BID. She got better after her full first dose. But, as of three days ago, she is starting to fall again. I put her back on the cephalexin 500mg and will call vet tomorrow. Brin is 3 years old and lives inside. She is overweight I think! but never fell like now. PLEASE HELP ...I do not know what to do. It is so sad and>>>>  Need help pls...Thank you

Answer
Pigs have narrow ear canals that are easily blocked, and blocked ears can affect balance. Lack of balance can also be caused by neurological problems like stroke or salt poisoning. Antibiotics will not fix any of these problems.
Make sure her ears are clean but do NOT squirt liquid into the ears and do NOT allow the vet to flush them with water. Both cleaning techniques can cause the ear canal to plug with water, making things worse and causing deafness.
A blood test will help your vet determine if this problem is caused by an infection, and if so, which antibiotic is best.
