Pig's Medicine Cabinet


You'll need to keep a few instruments, medicines and dressings, for emergencies:
* Thermometer
*A pair of rounded scissors
*10ml Arplex plastic syringe (re-usable)
*Needles
*17 gauge x 3" or 1"
*Cotton wool
*Calamine lotion
*Pig oil
*Liquid paraffin
*Surgical spirit
*Multi vitamins
*Lactulose
*Bar of ex-lax chocolate
*Erysipalas Vaccine
*Wormer injection
*Wound powder and antiseptic cream
*Crude disinfectant
Also- Ear notching pliers, ear tattooing set, nose rings and toe pliers
So my pig keeping days won't be as easy as I initially thought!

Their names are Rosie, Ginger and Snorker [pronounced very oddly, my dad named it]. They are Tamworths, and very funny to watch as they root around the field and fight.
