Hi..i'm new here & have decided to come on to get some advice from all you experts!
I have a little female piggy named Alice who is now 6 years 2 months old. Just recently i have noticed that she doesnt run for cover every time i approach but rather sits huddled in her cage & doesnt 'react' until the last moment. She often sits facing into the corner of the cage alone, rather than snuggled up with her 'partner' as she used to.
She is still eating & drinking & appears otherwise fine...am i witnessing the signs of dementia & senility approaching...i understand 6 is quite elderly for a pig.
Any advice/suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.
