A herd of pigs is presented for various clinical signs. The neonatal piglets in the herd present with intention tremors, and the newly weaned pigs have diarrhea, dyspnea, icterus, and scabby skin lesions. Necropsy of one animal leads you to the diagnosis of porcine multisystemic wasting disease caused by a circovirus type II infection. What is the best treatment option for this herd? |
