Managing the compromised nursery pig requires not only
individual attention but also an awareness of a group scenario and
calls for timely decisions in respect to treatment, transportation or
euthanasia (3). Initially, try to assess a group of pigs from a distance
before disturbing them (Figure 1), observe the pigs so that they are
unaware of your presence and maintain their behavior patterns. This
may involve opening the door slightly. Listen for coughing, sneezing
and sounds of restlessness.
