There are a large number of licensed and available antimicrobials for pigs in the UK, together with similar generic preparations in other parts of the world. The ambulatory clinician requires only as few as five injectable preparations, which should include two long-acting drugs. The latter are very useful for the busy pig farmer as well as for the busy practitioner treating pet pigs whose owners are unable to inject their stock. Clinicians would be well advised to carry one oral preparation for prolonged antimicrobial therapy. A spray of topical antimicrobial is also useful.
