Stroke?

[Ilovemypigs123]

On Tuesday night we lost one of our girls (a herd of 7) we found her all limp on her side and before we got to the vets she had passed (seemed like a stroke), all the girls have been fine since expect one who’s been missing her. Gone upstairs to check on them tonight and found another one the same shortly after she was gone too . I plan on taking the 5 other girls (all happy and healthy currently ) to the vets tomorrow as early as I can get them seen. Is there anything else I could do till the morning?

I'm so sorry, what a horrible shock for you. I've linked the above guide for you, hopefully a heath and illness expert will be along soon.

How awful for you I'm assuming tomorrow is the earliest they can be seen?

So sorry that you have lost 2 girls in quick succession.
Taking the others for a vet check is a wise idea.
Hope there’s no issues with them.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve.
