Hoping all goes well and you get answers soon! Hand feeding one is hard work, hand feeding 9 I can't imagine how you do it. Up to a few weeks ago we were hand feeding two till we lost Jasmine. Wishing you all the best!

Thanks for you all. Perhaps you can help me with Doxycylin. You are using Doxycylin as a usual antibiotic in US. We are calling Doxycylin as a antibiotic with high risk in Germany. Are you using the Typ. you can use for injektios or the Tye you only can eat? It's chemicall Little different. Ivan has all sings of a lung disease. I would like to ask the vet for Doxycycline. if we have Mykoplasma- nothing other will work. Enrofloxacin seems to be not working enough.

We use oral. I think injected would work okay too.

Sometime we are using the liquid for Injektion to give it oral. it 's little different to the Doxycylin for oral use only. I think, I will ask for a sirup

I've given it to my pigs a couple of times with no problems, and they've gotten the oral stuff. It's not a syrup, just a thin solution.

It's used here for young pigs when vets are worried about Baytril (enrofloxacin) stunting their growth, and Bactrim isn't killing the organisms.

Bactrim isn't killing the organisms.
We used tablet form and the pigs tolerated it pretty well. They would get half a tablet depending on weight added to water and given via syringe. Hoping Ivan feels better real soon!

We had heared from the necropsy. we have a lot of questions, no answer. So we are hoping, Doxycycline will work as well, as it did .
