Hello. It is difficult to answer this without more information such as if anesthesia was used, how old the pig is & how difficult the procedure was. If this was a farm castration, then the pig may be in shock & may require further veterinary attention. Good luck & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
