cuddles

hi all i have an older piggy here named milly.she arrived at the rescue last oct with her 2 adult daughters,3 adult sons,2 baby sons still feeding off her and 1 baby daughter still feeding off her.she had a massive gut and i thought she must have been pregnant again.I seperated her from all bar 2 adult daughters and she has been fine.today she was fine this morning but this afternoon when i went to feed her greens she was lethargic and limp.her tummy has all of a sudden lost thebig buldge but no babies in sight or any signs that there were any.I think she may be ddying and am keeping her on fluids and syringe feeding.I have given her a probiotic for the sake of it and shes off to the vets first thing tomorrow morning.is there anything else i can do for her?
 
I wonder if she might be bloated. If you flick the side of her tummy does it sound hollow? If it does it's probably gas. Crush a chewable rennie and mix with some water and then syringe it to her in one go. Leave for about half an hour and then massage her sides.
