I actually have 2 questions
1. is there anything you would add to this?
2. Where can I get these things? I know some I will be going to the pest store for, but things like eye wash or skin wash is that just stuff I would get at a drug store and use myself? or is there a specific kind I have to get for my pigs?
I know that’s more than 2 questions, but I appreciate any help you can give me
