I have a Rex sow in rescue who I knew was quite heavily pregnant but did not expect her to deliver for another week or so.

This morning at about 4.00am she delivered 5 tiny souls. One was already dead when I got to her at about 4.30am. Another soon followed, and then a third.

The dead babies weighed only 25g each. She has obviously delivered prematurely.

Anyhow all the babies have now passed so rest in peace little ones - it was not meant to be.

Sorry to hear that Hels... Were they whom the cage was for?
 
oh poor you, poor babies and poor mummy pig x
 
Audrey, yes the spare was for a nursery cage for mum and bubbas.

With the big rescue done today its proving very useful x


Mummy pig is fairly quiet understandably and hasn't eaten her veggies or hay so I am keeping a close eye on her.

That is always so sad when that happens. But mum and babies were in a safe environment with you ... all warm and comfortable.

Run free little babies and enjoy the fresh green grass over the bridge xx
 
So sorry to hear this, was in a similar position myself a few weeks ago and it's just so awful to go through. Sadly I lost the mummy pig too, I hope your little girl perks up and is ok after her loss. Thinking of you

oh my, this brought a tear to my eye, the poor little darling.

My thoughts are with the mummy and those poor tiny babies. it just wasnt to be.

sleep tight little angels, xxxxxxxx
 
I am so sorry to hear about this horrible loss for the mummy and you. It must be so tough for your both. 8...8...8...

Now the babies are running free over the bridge & they will be looked after by those who have gone before them.

Give mummy pig a hug & kiss from me & my manly trio - Legolas, Jerry & Pippin xx>>>

i'm so sorry to hear of these little precious bundles, they were just not meant to be for this world. i hope they find cuddles/jess' dolly and sunshineandtwinkle/louise's pearl so that they can all have fun up there.

my thoughts go out to you and mommy piggy, its so hard to know of lost lives, even though they weren't in your life long, these little bubbas will leave a big mark in your heart xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Mummy Rex pig had an injection - looking very poorly at the moment - vet suspects toxaemia post-partum - but said as she has had her antibiotic injection this morning she may well do ok - its a wait and see game sadly.

Hels love i'm terribly sorry to hear this and for the poor little mother as well 8...8...8...
RIP sweet little mini's run free at the bridge, too early for you to be on this earth, i'm sure there's many mummy piggies who'll be taking care of you at the bridge xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and lots of special loves for you, you do such a wonderful job rescuing Hels i'm sorry this one turned out like this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Don't know if I dare say it but Mummy pig seems to be perking up a little bit. She was very interested in her veggie bowl today and had a little nibble of apple and cucumber and cabbage - then left it. She is certainly taking water so that's a good sign.

We will see.
