Hello All
Sorry that I haven't posted any updates on Kitkat the only surviving Orphan from the emergency caesarian but work has benn manic. Well............... Kitkat is doing well although she is still small, two litters from another two sows followed her, one with 5 (2 stillborn) the week after Kitkat then 4 two weeks later. Kitkat is the same size as youngets litter who are now two weeks old, but shes doing well.
BUT we have a problem with lice, no idea where it came from but we have lice. Mavis who 'adopted' Kitkat has been treated for lice with Johnsons shampoo, the babies are now weaned, my other sow has a bad case of cystitis so her babies had to be taken from her at ten days but are doing well. She has been treated for lice. What do i do with the littleuns and their lice? Is there anything i can use at such a young age? Kitkat at 4 weeks (yes she is a month old!), another 3 at three weeks and 4 at 2 weeks old? Most stuff seems to say i can only use it after they are 12 weeks?
Any help much appreciated
And yes yes I MUST post pics of the 8 littleuns, would have been 14 littleuns if they had all made it!!
