HelPpppp... Vomitting hog

i'am concerened about my york gilt she eats like a pig but then she moves to drink water and vomitts it all up? i do not see any growth in her since this started to occure? i have dewormed her in a monthly basis but i don't see whats the problem.. open for suggestions???

Sounds like the pig could have a ulcer. I would contact your local vet and see about getting something for ulcers.

Thank You TY,
i'll check it out i'll hual her to the vet so they can check her out? is this common to gilts to do this or have this happen to them? Do you know if this is inherted from there sire or dam or is it just a luck of the draw? well thank you for the advice..

It sounds like an ulcer to me as well. You can try to feed her
smaller amounts of feed at a time. When one has an ulcer and they scarf down their feed real quick it irritates the ulcer, making them vomit. You may try putting a self feeder in with her, to see if she will eat less feed at one time. The vet is the first place to start though. Just giving some tips after the vet visit.

Prilosec works well for ulcers. Also if you are using a ground feed it tends to be courser and will irritate the ulcer.

thank you guys for the replys? i'll going to take her to the vet in a bit and see what we can do to her and her problem?

So how's your hog doing did you find what was wrong with it?????

yup yup she had 4 ulcers the size of quarters they where big the vet said the had to remove them? after that was put in a self feeder and she has BLOWN apart shes gotten 100lbs heavier ? and the BEST THING is that i got her bred to a boar from lvs called frost bite???

Glad to hear you got her healed up. With todays showfeeds Ulcers are becoming more common. Good luck with her litter.
