I did it. I gave the girl pig a shot. Here is the story. The pigs weren't growing, and we were trying to figure out what was wrong. James and the boys got some vaccinations and a shot for lice. He ended up giving one of the boy pigs 2 of the lice shots. So the girl pig only got a vaccine shot. The boys pigs look so much better and are actually growing. The girl isn't getting any better, and is still small.
Yesterday I was in Oswego and went and got her a shot. Today James asked if I had given it to her, and I answered no. So Haylea, Carl and I went out to catch the pig and give her the shot. I took out some food thinking that I could grab her while she ate. Catching her appeared to be harder that I thought. We tried to corner her and get her. I tried to get Carl to crawl in and grab her. While we are doing this James is by the front porch telling us how to catch her. Then he says that we probably wouldn't catch her by the time that he got there to help.
Well guess what I did catch her. And I held her and gave her a shot. I was excited that I accomplished it without the help of my husband. Now maybe the girl pig will start clearing up and gaining weight.
