The syndrome is in swine and causes great pain to the animal in which a parasite in the pig’s stomach eats it’s stomach lining. This causes the infected to let out a ‘holler’ that is loud and can last for a few minutes or hours. The parasite eats the stomach until stomach acid spills out onto the rest of the organs, tearing through them and killing the swine.
My pig has Salvadoran hollering pigs syndrome. I’m going to have to put her down before it causes her even more pain.
