I'm heartbroken, shocked, distraught. Came home from work to find Vinny, Rory and Myrtle has passed. I don't know what has gone wrong, I'm in a mess. I feel like the worst piggy mum in the world. Everyone else seems fine. I've spoken to the vet and he has suggested bringing one of them in for a postmortem which I am going to do. Can't stop crying.
 
Oh gosh, What a terrible shock. I am so very sorry :( were they all living together?

If none of them were showing signs of illness, I wonder if something has shocked them whilst you have been out.

Please do not blame yourself as there's nothing you could have done regardless of the cause.

Massive (((hugs))) xx

So very sad for you. You are one of the best piggy mums don't lose heart hopefully the vet will get to the bottom of what's gone wrong. Hope the others are okay. Hugs being sent to you.

BIG HUGS
I am so sorry! What an absolute nightmare!

Please take a deep breath; whatever has happened is most likely to turn out as one of these absolutely unpreventable and unforeseeable incidents; if it had been an illness, you'd have picked up on it. You are a very attentive and caring owner.
Your reaction is very normal for when something unexpected happens on your patch.

Could there have been something that has literally frightened them to death? Mice? Or a gas leak?
Whatever it is, it has to be something very quick acting, which argues for an environmental vector. Poison would leave traces and it would affect all your piggies.
 
Oh no that's terrible!
Sorry don't know what to say, but my thoughts are with you.
Please don't be so harsh on yourself!
 
I am so sorry for your loss. What an awful thing to happen to you and your piggies.. sending you a big hug xx
 
Thank you everyone. I can't see anything that could have spooked them. One of the first things I did was get the C02 monitor out and its not picked anything up at all. Rory is going to the vet in the morning for a postmortem. Thank you for all your kind words I'm just lost.
 
I hope that the post mortem will give you the answers that you need!
 
So sorry for your loss I can't begin to imagine how terrible it must be to loose 3 babies in one day. However those babies knew they were loved and you are in no way to blame! You are as others have said an attentive owner who would notice an illness so it must be something that sadly you could not forsee. Though horrible it may be to bring Rory to the vet for a post mortem, know that you'll get the answers and if it is something that can be passed on how to prevent it. Again I'm so sorry.
 
So sorry that is just awful! Vinny was only new to your household wasn't he? Could he have brought in a virus? It would have to have developed v quickly tho which doesn't quite add up. Really hope vet can help with answers.
Go steady because you must be in shock :(
 
Thank you. Yes Vinny was new, but Rory had also recently lost his partner which make me think he could have had something too.

Oh god Ruth, I'm so sorry! :( You are a fantastic piggy mum so please don't blame yourself, massive hugs my dear xx

RIP little ones xx
 
Oh I'm really sorry, I'm shocked for you. What a big loss to try to come to terms with. Stay strong X
 
Oh Ruth - how unthinkably awful.
I am so very sorry to hear about your triple loss, but it is in no way your fault.
It sounds like it was one of those absolute freak occurrences that could never have been predicted or prevented.
You are clearly a wonderful, caring and very devote owner, and this is something that was outside of your control.
Be kind to yourself.
Big hugs from Switzerland.
 
Really sorry to hear about your latest losses. I hope the pm is useful. Take care of yourself. Best wishes.
