Pneumonia in pigs
My situation is that I have the doubt about what illness it attacks pigs of different hatcheries. Good the affected pigs have between 5 and 8 up to 10 weeks of age: they begin with sudden fever and mainly, or the characteristic thing, is that the eyes close or half they close and they are formed a sleep that prevents them the eyes besides that you/they are inflamed to open up in occasions. Is there also incoordinacion and is the death safe in 12 at 24 hours, don't these pigs receive any vaccine for breathing problems I wait they can help me and thank you.

Friend, do these pigs present some type of nasal secretion, do they have stertors, as that they lack the breathing, they present cianosis (that the skin is seen blue or habitation), do all the animals that present the fever die? it could be a crossed infection. Some virus with bacteria, I need but information but I would recommend you that you had a good sanitary control of your animals, vaccinating them and of being possible to take to a sick animal or that he/she has just died to carry out an autopsy for this way to be able to carry out the correct diagnosis, it is the best thing that it could recommend you, there are several places where you can carry out this.

If you have questions don't you doubt to write them, do I wait to have given you a solution to your problem.

it is difficult to diagnose this way, since the signs that you/they comment can be of several illnesses.
I am a critic on that the diagnosis laboratory should confirm a diagnosis made previously and this alone one confirms. In your case where a diagnosis, the laboratory is not made it should be able to be able to tell you from what he/she dies the pig that your you take and he/she is your ability like doctor, to be able to take this diagnosis to the farm assuring that the thought measures are the effective ones.
Make autopsies of each animal that dies to make sure that what is in the autopsy is the same thing, request them to make histopatologia of the affected organs and in the same autopsy to determine if it is necessary to make a bacteriology to isolate the agent and to finish with antibiograma to determine how antibiotic to use, we generally ask them to be antibiotic they to be provided in the food and power to reinforce with some injectable one.
If you notice the diagnosis it is not easy, and it is necessary to make a methodology of this to carry out it.
If you make the autopsy it points out what you find, from the tip of the language until the tip of the line.
Greetings.

Dear Javier:

Unfortunately, to my I would like it a lot, in fact a lot of power to continue with the pursuits of the pathologies that I help to diagnose, but unfortunately, here in Mexico, the cattlemen don't come with good eyes that a Q.B.P. do guide them on these topics, since they do think that the most appropriate profesionista for this the MVZ is, and is it well in several aspects, but do I believe that the veterinarians don't sometimes take very in our bill results or even as it has ended up me to happen, do they ignore them because they don't agree with what you/they had diagnosed, giving as a result that our client or does the client of the MVZ continue losing animals, would I like that one could give a better communication among laboratory-veterinarian-breeder, since only this way I think one could give a better attention to the animals, and would she help to control many illnesses that could be eliminated easily, you that you/they think?
