My pig is lethargic, not eating, and vomiting. What should I do?

Pet's info: Farm Animal | Pig | Male | neutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 200 lbs

One of my kune kune pigs, which is normally very healthy and friendly, began showing a lack of interest in eating today, has been demonstrating lethargy, and threw up a light cream colored substance two times in a small amount. I just wanted to see if you have any suggestions until I can get him to his normal veterinarian office tomorrow. Thank you.

There are many things that can cause vomiting in pigs. I suggest you just hold him off food until you can get her seen by your vet. That way his stomach can rest. Have water available for him to drink but don't force him to take in water.
