[karen354]

What caues diarrhoea in piggies ? As you know I lost my little man this morning, I'm now thinking is it somthing I gave him to make him so ill :'(

I'm not sure Karen, it has been know that some foods just dont agree with some pigs but i've never heard of food causing something as serious as you describe its usually just a bit of runny poo i think. I do know Julie (Boureki) and Marty lost two of theirs to sudden diorhea and they dont know what caused it, it may be worth giving her a pm to see if she can shed any light. Dont blame yourself, i really doubt it was anything you could have helped and i dont think a food disagreeing with him would cause so much damage really sorry x

I don't think any food you gave him could have caused the symptons that flopy had, not to that extent anyway.Don't blame yourself you did all you could for the little guy x

Please don't beat yourself up. ((((( hugs )))))
I don't think food would have been the problem.
You did everthing you could, getting Flopy to the vets so quickly.
So very sorry. :'(

I also don't think food would have caused the death of a pig. Maybe some kind of bacteria? Was Flopy ok yesterday? They hide it well though! Have a look on Guinea Lynx they may have some answers and look through the forums they have loads of illnesses related posts so may help. I know I done this when we lost Cuzzy to try and make sense of what happpened.

It may have been a bacterial infection,or,quite possibly renal failure.

Do not blame yourself there is nothing you could have done.
