Poor poor Lacey is very sick...
She's became toxic... Stopped producing milk and lost weight... She's tiny...
I'm currently syringe feeding her critical care... Bio-lapis... And a glucose mixture...
So get well vibes for my poor Lacey...
And I'm hand rearing the three babies... Who are not taking well to it at the moment... They are weak... And struggling to take from the teat...
Can't beleive I'm back here again... With a very poorly mommy pig and babies...
Wish me luck guys...!

Lacey (mom) weighs 600g but she's skin and bones... :(
Wilfred weighs 67g
Winnie weighs 62g
Woog Jr. Weighs 50g
So there smaller than I'd like but no where near what thorn was at 19g...
So it's achievable... And they will get big and strong... :)
It's Lacey who's really got me worried...

How is the sow?

She's keeping on the steady...
Not much in the way of improvement yet... But she's not getting worse so atleast that's something...
I'm hoping over the next 24 hours she'll start picking up... It might take that long for the intensive treatment I've got her on to kick in...

Oh no I am so so sorry to hear this. I wish you and the piggies the best of luck. I really hope they get through this.

Have you tried Liquid Life Aid? I've found it excellent for sows with tox.

If you can't get that, try twin lamb drench - excellent for ketosis:
