i feel quite numb and in shock as i type this today. i was going to take hazel to the vets yesterday as i was concerned that she looked like lily did just before she was pts. sadly i got held up as i received news that my aunty had passed away and didn't get chance to take hazel to the vets. i checked on her this morning and she came straight up to me for her breakfast dish as she always does. she looked very big and walked awkardly so i got her in the car and went off to the vets with her. in the space of the last 24 hours or so her little body has filled with so much fluid. the vet explained how this amount of fluid means there must be something sinister going on. possible explanations were heart failure, kidney failure or tumours. after thinking it over i decided i didn't want hazel to suffer - she quite obviously had something major going on - and between us we decided it was best to let her go. my vet always gives the piggies a small amount of anesthetic to relax them before giving them the final injection - hazel went under the whiff of anesthetic and didn't even need the injection. she was 11 months old and the 4th to die out of a litter of 5. only little nutmeg remains now with her mom blossom. this is a link to the thread about the others:

Oh no. I really am so very sorry. Poor little thing. You did your absolute best by her and her family. What awful news you have been having recently. I really feel for you. I am so sorry about your auntie too. :(
 
Oh crikey you are being tested at the moment aren't you, I'm so sorry you lost your aunt and I'm deeply sorry that you last another of your little babies, my heart totally goes out to you.

Rip hazel, run free with the others.

Virtual hugs being sent from me and mine x
 
Oh gosh how utterly harrowing. I'm feeling quite wheepy :( RIP little Hazel, hope your siblings aren't hiding cheekily under the bridge!

My thoughts will be with you this weekend..
Big hugs and love. XoXo
 
So sorry to hear this Sally, Katy saw the picture and said she was one of the cutest ones we saw. Hope Nutmeg and Blossom are okay.

they look lost in a huge 8' hutch. i've piled it high with hay to keep them warm. i wonder if blossom realises her babies are leaving one by one. i wish people would sit back and think about the problems that are caused by inbreeding. this must be what has caused all these illnesses/deaths i would think. at least none of the pigs in my home will ever go through it again. i'm so worried about nutmeg now. i just have this sinking feeling in my stomach that she will be next. btw, angel is still with me so that's a bit of good news. i've decided that when angel does finally pass away i will try and bond harry with blossom and nutmeg - hopefully they will settle with each other
 
Sally, we are both so sorry to hear you have lost Hazel and also the loss of your Auntie. Our thoughts are with you at this very sad time.

RIP Hazel

I am so sorry you are going through this. I am in tears now reading through your thread. Hugs to you sweetheart, I am so sorry your Aunty has died, and now another of your babies....x hugs xx
 
Aw Sally - I'm so sorry, you must be in bits with everything :(
Our love and thoughts are with you and Hazel is now reunited with the others at The Bridge playing safely.
Will light a candle this evening in the memory of the ones you have lost hun.
Big hugs x>>
