The Purple Princess Posts: 2226 Location: Charlestown, IN	We have a sow in our barn that has a hurt hip (we think). The owners said it is from their boar mounting her. He is larger than she is. I read that I can give her aspirin but it says to be careful not to give her too much. Any ideas on how much I CAN give her?? She's about 350-400lbs...

Miss Laundry Misshap Posts: 5271	Aspirin can be given to a pig at a dose of 5 mg. per pound (equivalent to 1 1/2 regular aspirin per 100 pound pig). A word of caution about aspirin: pigs are susceptible to the irritating affect of aspirin on the stomach and I recommend that aspirin always be given to a pig with food! Aspirin should only be given at twelve hour intervals and should not be given for more than 24 - 48 hours unless under a veterinarians supervision. If vomiting or diarrhea develop, aspirin should be immediately discontinued. Do not give pigs any product containing acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen. The use of these products in the potbellied pig have not been documented to be safe at this time. GOOGLE

Takes longer when not in the vein. Or just squirt it in the mouth if you can. Our show hogs always had to be caught and put in their noose for veins.
