My pig needs medicine. How to weigh her accurately without a scale?

Question

I don't have a scale to weigh my pig with. I need to give her some medicine and I need to know how much she weighs. Is there a way to do that without a scale? Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 15 days old | 100 lbs

In order to accurately give her the medication, you will need to know her weight, or you could accidentally give Penelope too much or too little medication. I would see if you have a friend who has a scale you can borrow. You can weigh yourself holding her, then weigh yourself alone, and subtract the difference to get her weight.
