I Have A Number Of Pigs Which Have Been Ailing For Three Weeks Or So

Categories: Diseases of Animals

They discharge a yellowish kind of manure at times, running of the

bowels. The most striking symptom seems to be a partial paralysis of the

hindquarters. The hogs will be walking along and seem to lose control of

their hing legs. It seems to be spreading to the other hogs and a number

have already died. Their appetite is poor.



This is undoubtedly hog cholera. The owner should appeal to the

Experiment Station at Berkeley for serum and treat all well hogs and

clean up as thoroughly as possible. The matter should also be reported

to the State Veterinarian at Sacramento.
