I really need some advive, To cut a long story short I brought a piggy from p@h adoption centre and 12 days ago she gave birth to 3 beautiful girls.I realised that they have been in-bread because they all have extra toes.
The babies were small when they were born but all looked healthy.
Recently I began to notice that one wasnt growing as fast as the others, I got some scales yesterday and weighed them all, two weigh 126g but the little one only weights 70g! shes 12 days old. I have taken the advice of my vet and I'm feeding Minnie (the smallest piggy) goats milk through a syringe.
I try to do this every couple of hours. She takes the milk very well every time. She is also eating well and pooing normally, She just doesnt seem to get any bigger. What I would like to know is if I can do anything else to help her, If anyone knows of anything I can do then I will try anything. I can feel her backbone and her ribs easily and its making me really sad. I have to go to work now but I will check back on here at 10 when I get home,
Thanks everyone
Heidi
