Maybe you shouldn't put her down and pick her up all the time, try and hold her and feed her until she's all done and take it easy and slow . Be calm, you looks so stressful and just push it in her mouth,she has no chance to swallow.
Try and give to her slower,she can't swallow it it all comes out beside her mouth 🐷 take it slow!!! I'm pretty sure you can't give her 80 millimeter in one feed, you have it all wrong, she is much to small to eat that much in one meal. .by the way my sister is a veterinarian and she said it was way way to much.
Please slow down as she's not enough time to swallow and could start leaking into her lungs. Try a kitten bottle with a nipple and let her drink at her pace. It will save you sooo mych wastage ❤ She's improving so very much. You're doing such a good job with her rehabilitation ❤
Hello everyone. I just want to ask a question. There are PetAg small animal nurser bottles 2 oz size listed at Wal Mart. Your local vet could also give you that information.
****🌺 LE, you need to slow down in feeding that piglet!! More milk is spilling to the ground than is going into your pig!! Relax, slow down & stop trying to rush thru it! It's probably a better thing to give her a bottle than to continue on a syringe. She already has the taste for the milk, so when you give her the bottle put a little milk on it. Also, for like a human baby, you should maybe boil water in a pot , then put the nipple in it for about 1 minutes. Don't over boil it or it will become way to soft!! The reasons for boiling it would be to, soften the rubber & also to sanitize it from the bacterial germs. Start feeding her with a bottle, she'll get more of her milk & nutrition that way. Go back & watch this video, you'll see what I'm talking about. This is not meant to be mean, I'm trying to help you and that baby too cause it won't last if you continue to feed her that way!! It's going so fast that I'm surprised that piggy didn't aspirate on that milk, it scared me! Ok, loves to all but try a little kitten bottle, those will work. God ✝️ bless 🙏🐖🐖🐖🐐🐐🐓🐣🐈🐈⬛🐈🐕🐕🦺🌳🐖🐖🐐🐐***
L.E., you have to stop going too fast--you can cause her to aspirate or even drown. Plus she is only getting about 1/8 of what is in the syringe, if that much. She is very tiny and so are all of her organs, glands, and throat. Also, until her legs are stronger, please put her on a solid surface (1 that she can't slide on). She is expending all of her strength & energy trying to stand. You could easily make a physical rehab 'gutter' that helps small puppies with 'swimmers legs' syndrome. We all love her already & just want her better and stronger asap.
The way you feed her she is drooling out half of it because you push the syringe so fast maybe slow down a little or see if you can use a tiny bottle and nipple to help with sucking instead of just swallowing as fast as she can
You both are doing a great job with all the animals. You need to SLOW DOWN. Your pushing the milk too fast. She doesn't have time to swallow. Do it slow and she will get alot more. ❤
She's so little but looks like she has strong will to live. Sweet. Amazing how animals can heal from physical disabilities at times. Hope that happens.
Please try not to squirt the milk so fast into its mouth. Imagine if someone was doing that to you I would think they could choke if swallowed incorrectly
LE your feeding her too fast and she is loosing all the milk. You need to close her mouth and only push the plunger when she sucks and swollows. If she is getting most of the syringe she will probably only take 2 or three syringes. Maybe wrap her up and hold her close like a baby
You may want to consider switching her to a bottle so you can see how much she is actually consuming. The syringe feeding seems to go out the side of her mouth very quickly. So I worry that she may not be actually getting enough food.
The American Mini Pig Association (AMPA) and others advise against bottle feeding piglets because it can lead to deadly pneumonia. Bottle feeding can cause piglets to aspirate, which can lead to respiratory issues. Instead, the AMPA recommends pan or syringe feeding to provide colostrum.
