Question

1. all six of laylas pigs have a high fever and some are convulsing. she quickly calls her veterinarian, who gives layla the bad news that her pigs have contracted hog cholera. since this is such a contagious disease, what treatment will the vet most likely recommend? he will recommend that she euthanize the pigs. he will quarantine the pigs until their symptoms clear. he will start all the pigs on antibiotics right away. he will give antivirals to the pigs and also to layla.

Explanation:

Hog - cholera is a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease in pigs with no effective treatment. Euthanasia is usually recommended to prevent the spread of the disease and to reduce the suffering of the animals. Quarantine won't be effective as there is no cure, antibiotics don't work against viruses, and anti - virals are not typically available for hog - cholera and there is no need to give antivirals to the owner as it doesn't infect humans.

Answer:

He will recommend that she euthanize the pigs.
