Hello i am super new to this forum. A very sad thing happened this morning. I have a routine with my pigs. I wake up, use the restroom, then turn on the light in the living room where they are located. as i soon as i do that i say "good morning girls" and by then they are both normally wicking for there morning veggies, pea chips and hay rack refill. I first noticed that they were super quiet and a lot of there parsley wasn't eaten and then i go to get there bowl i noticed my sweet girl Dumplin laying on her side by her hay rack eyes glassed over not seeming to breathe. I run and wake up my husband and he confirmed my worst fear she had passed in the night. Through my tears and sobs i asked what had happened. He flips her over and found a puffy piece of Timothy hay in her mouth. This was Oxbow Timothy Hay. Was this just a freak accident or something that happens often with pigs? How can i do better to prevent this in the future? Thank you so much for your time. Any advice is appreciated.
