Ebaker6pigs
New Born Pup
On 5/7/16 one of my sows had 5 babies. One of them has always been smaller but Today I've found it very weak. It won't suckle from mum and won't eat solid food. Not sure if I should hand feed nor what to feed it?

Please see the vet asap. Babies can go downhill very quickly, as they have so little body mass and their immune system is still under construction.
