My baby pig is sick. What should I feed her and what's her temp?

Question

Hello! Our 1 month old baby pig seems to have a cold & usually she loves running around but right now she seems sort of tired and sleeps more. I usually feed her milk & she enjoys it alot. What should I do or feed her? Also what would be the average body temperature of a baby pig? Thankyou for your time. Pet's info: Farm Animal | Pig | Female | 1 month and 8 days old | 3 lbs

Pigs tend to run hotter than people and a normal temp is around 101.5-102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If she's lethargic, not wanting to eat as much, and also has nasal discharge, I'd be worried about something underlying such as a respiratory illness which can affect piglets. Having a vet take a look, especially if she isn't improving, is best. In the meantime, keeping her eating her regular food, and keeping he warm may help keep her comfortable until the cause is found.
