Tonks is still very sleepy and I can't help but be worried about her. The other pigs seem to be leaving her be mostly and Cissy seems to be looking after her.

She has been grooming her which is lovely but it looked a little rough at times. Since then they've just had a little nap and it's unusually quiet in there. I like to think they're behaving themselves for poorly Tonks.

At the moment Tonks is just sitting quietly not doing anything and I'm worried that she's not eating. It's a relief that the other pigs aren't hassling her though.

Is the grooming a good sign? Or do you think it's a dominance thing?

Jemimah did the same to Merab when she returned from a trip to the vet.
It looked like affection, welcome home sort of behaviour but that’s purely my observation.
If you are concerned that Tonks isn’t recovering then a call to the vet would be in order.
Hope she does pick up quickly.

Yes I was hoping it was affection, I haven't seen much grooming since but they've been looking after her really well.

She seems to be doing a bit better today but she's still not doing much. I've seen her nibbling on hay a little but she's still quite dozy. That being said she's not my most active pig unless she's in season aha.
