Years ago when I had hogs and would buy some from guys that didn't have money to feed them out this is what I did. Get them in the building and let them settle for a weak to get use to it. Keep them warm and have plenty of water and all the feed them want. After the first weak I added 10 lbs of cheap dog food (ground up) to a 100 lbs of hog feed (from the feed mill) and mixed it in. I used an old electric cement mixer to mix the feed and dog food together and 110 lbs will fit in it easy. You will be amazed how much they will eat the first weak you do this. Wait 2 weaks and add the 10 lbs to it again and don't add anymore after that.
If you can find some high sulfer coal (lump) and toss it in the pen she will eat it and will help her build her immunity up from the sulfer in the coal. Hogs love good alfalfa hay so give her some.
By the sounds of the green water she could have worms, Easy to add 10 gallon of swimming pool water to a hog water'er (50 gallon tank style) to clean her out and get rid of the worms. You may have to do this 2 different times. I sold hog on the carkes merit program and allways got top dollar for my hogs. I know I'm old school but it works. Just some ideas to think about. Bandit
