Rupert has gone. I have no words. Found him in a collapsed state and he passed in my arms. Heartbroken and confused doesn't cover it...

I'm so sorry. What a shock. Were the circumstances similar to when you lost his little friend?

Sorry to think of practicalities at a really sad time but are the girls in the same airspace? If so I would get them a vet check just to be safe.

Sweet dreams Rupert. Reunited at the bridge.
 
Thanks Helen.

That's what I'm worried about. I'm collected some samples of his poo to take to the vet in the morning and I'm going to book the ladies in to have a check up.

It wasn't exactly the same. With Wesley he was trying to walk but couldn't operate his legs properly. Rupert was just completely collapsed. Only a few hours before he was eating his veggies.
 
Bless them. Poor boys. Glad the girls are being checked. Illnesses like walking Pneumonia can strike out of the blue and can be contagious, though not always. It depends on the pig.
 
It's horrid, I feel awful. I hope it's just coincidence and nothing that the girls can catch.
 
Fingers crossed. Just keep an eye out for any changes in behaviour or breathing etc.
 
Sweetheart...poor little darling Rupert. I can't express how truly sorry I am, I can only offer support and understanding.
Please stay strong, you provided the best and most loving home possible for a lovely little creature.
 
I am so so sorry for your loss. It must have been heartbreaking you lost another piggy so soon after Wesley. Sleep tight little one.
 
Oh no- how awful for you.
But no one could have loved their piggies more, and your boys knew how much you adored them.
 
Oh my gosh what a shock. I am so sorry to hear that both of your boys have passed so close together, I can't imagine how you are feeling.
RIP Rupert
 
Oh I'm so sorry to read this :(
He knew he was loved and I'm sure he wanted to stay, but he needed to be with Wesley more. xx
 
Oh my God. Ruth I am so very sorry. You must be absolutely devastated. Please drop me a pm if you need to talk. Massive hugs x x

Sleep well Beautiful boy

RIP Ruppert
