Piglets kept in concrete pens often need iron injections in their first few days. Backyard pigs should be annually vaccinated against diamond skin disease and injected with Ivomectin to control internal parasites and mange. Sick pigs may need antibiotic injections, but it is better to leave this to a vet. For vaccinating adult or weanling pigs, use a 5ml syringe and a short 19- or 20-gauge needle.
