Feeding the miniature piglet runt

Feeding the runt of the litter as she was getting thin from the others chasing her away from the milk. Dog crying in background as we locked him up so piglet was safe! Always have to syringe very slow and make sure the baby is swallowing it so they don't aspirate into the lungs. I start off at the side of the mouth rather than front to give them a taste of it first, then they often just guzzle it down. I'm feeding her warm Veanavite Farmyard milk replacement. Cows milk isn't really suitable for pigs this young. the mother pig also gets some milk replacement to help her milk production.
