Claims
- *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Miniature pet pigs need fresh water available at all times to prevent dehydration and salt toxicosis (water-deprivation sodium-ion intoxication); balanced diets are essential.
- *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Ingesting excess sodium chloride, especially when water is limited, can cause salt toxicosis; clinical signs vary between species and between acute and chronic exposure.
