Today we took Zambi to the vets to be put to sleep as he was slowly dying of a stomach tumour of sorts. I went into the vets crying but left dry eyed because our vet was very understanding and even looked like she might cry. She told me she had been the one who gave him the ultrasound a few weeks back and remembered him which was nice.

Zambi was adopted from near Derby with Mali who passed around 2 years ago this June. They came as a pair but quickly fell out due to hormones, Zambi then was paired with Zuki who is still with us. They weren't very good friends but tolerated each others existence.

Zambi, I believe was around 4 years old. He was a very big pig, mainly fat who liked to shoot poops at people in dozens, he hated bath time but had dandruff so needed them, he started off black and white but slowly developed this brown patch as well so I guess you can change your spots :)

I miss him, I will always miss him, love him and he's forever in mine and my OH's hearts.

Meercat training with my OH.
 
I am so sorry Zambi had to be put to sleep. Rest in peace little one, you were obviously surrounded by love to the last. Beautifulmess, may your sorrow be tempered with good memories of a truly individual piggy.
 
oh no, how sad I'm so sorry you lost Zambi, what a gorgeous piggy.

Rip Zambi, sleep well x

ps/ love the meercat piccy x
 
So sorry you had to make this decision. You did everything you could for him, he would have known how much you both adored him. He was a beautiful boy. Big hugs to you x

RIP Zambi

I thought of you and Zambi this morning, you did the right thing for him.
Run free sweet boy, play safe with the other special piggies at The Bridge x>>
 
So sorry to hear about Zambi.....Sleep tight lovely boy..
 
Thank you everyone. It came in threes and was deadly with one, the p ig who got sick fiest is now not eating again, quite obviously his teeth as he'll eat slop food on his own, will get him checked out asap... it seemed harder this time perhaps because I had to make the decision or that I didnt control my others death times. I'm reluctant to get anymore for a while but know zuki needs company.
 
Sad thing is, now the pig who was first sick and stopped eating and got better has stopped eating again, he's had his teeth done but because his tongue was nipped in the process he's reluctant to start eating so syringe feeding and pain relief for a few days I think.

I miss Zambi, Zuki seems so lonely but at the same time he isn't showing that he cares, just odd only being him in that huge cage.
