Wise OTG: Honey Pig got Pneumonia
Channel: Mr. David Wise
Date: 2020-12-22

During 2020 we decided to try our hand with raising a spring pig for meat. We have learned a lot through our time with Honey, the pig,  about farm animals. When we first adopted Honey, her previous owner thought she was the runt, turns out she just had worms. We gave her the appropriate medicine and she gained weight no problem. Great learning experience for us. This week, we learned what to do when your pig wont stand up or eat anything. We found out that it is actually pretty common for pigs to catch pneumonia when the weather changes. Some pigs are sensitive to temperature drops and rises that manifests in pneumonia. We watched many different YouTube videos on how to deliver the medicine to our pig, which turned out to be not very helpful. We either have no idea what we are doing, most likely, or we have a pig that is way smarter and stronger than us, also highly likely. Either way, we did eventually deliver her medicine successfully all four days and she healed up great. Each week proves to be a new learning curve on the tiny farm, but we are loving the journey so far. Thanks for learning with us! You can keep up with us on instagram at @wiseotg
