Hello all, happy Tuesday and I hope you are doing well and that your health is good. Long story short, I got a BIG female piggy (Honey) who is 1093 grams. I read that the normal range is 700-900. I do not cut down her proportions or diet her as I learned from Saskia of LAGPR that it is not wise to do such. A little bit of history, the pet store labeled this little sweetheart as a male and as such my 5 year old man (Teddy) did the birds and the bees and they had 4 beautiful piglets. (He's neutered now, no worries. I kept them as well! Such wonderful balls of joy.) She gave birth 4/21/20. So where this becomes an absolute problem is, Teddy is a senior and while he is overall healthy he is 100 grams underweight while she is 100 grams overweight. I have pea flakes and a multi vitamin I give Teddy to supplement and I was thinking of adding critical care just to pack on some grams. But I have no idea if it is a long-term after pregnancy complication that Honey has that has her ravenous and eating everything in sight like a lawnmower or something else. I plan to take her to a vet soon for a little check up, but I wanted to see if I could get some opinions.
Thanks so much!
