On today’s episode we are talking with Dr. Tricia M. Pugh, DVM, CVA, CVMMP, Owner of Red Star Veterinary Clinic

Dr. Tricia Pugh, owner of Red Star Vet Clinic has been practicing veterinary medicine for the past 13 years on both small and large animals. In both categories, she treats pigs. Pigs have become enormously popular pets and require similar veterinary care that is given to dogs and cats.

Dr. Trish enjoys treating pigs on a regular basis at the clinic and on the farm. In the clinic she performs spay and neuter surgeries as well as vaccines and wellness appointments. On the farm,  she will administer, vaccinations and wellness exams.

In this episode of The Pet Pig Podcast Dr. Trish gives her opinion on some highly debated topics in the pig world. 

• Deworming, how often should it be done? 
• What vaccines are needed with a pig?
• Anesthesia
• And what warning signs you need to know to get your pig to the vet.

Key Takeaway: It can take a lot of research and effort to find a good, experienced, vet when it comes to pet pigs. But if you can find a vet that is willing to learn, and work with you and help your pig to be the healthiest it can be, that’s a good pace to start.
