We Are On Lock Down - Sudden Deaths

Flutterby I have only just read through this thread.

I am so sorry that this has happened. I cannot imagine how you are feeling, but hold in there. To lose so many so suddenly is devastating. You are a fab person and a perfect piggy mum, and you took action when you knew that there were problems. Do not doubt yourself, and do not think of the maybe, ifs, and I shoulda thoughts that plague us in moments like this. You have done what you could, and your quick action has saved piggies.

You are strong, and you will get over this in time. Those that are gone to the bridge are not forgotten. You gave them wonderful lives, so much so that if I was a piggy I wish that I was Living with you. I have always loved your cages and piggies. Hold in there. We are here for you :hug:
 
Where do you go from here? Are there any long term health issues or preventative measures with this terrible tradegy or was it just horrible bad luck?
I wouldn't know how to deal with it. You're so strong.
 
I'm not sure at the moment. The vet wants to see the remaining 6 when they have finished their antibiotics to check their chests etc. Hopefully in the next couple of days I will get some info from the postmortems. I will be following quarantine procedures for 4 weeks and hopefully if nothing else happens in that time and the remaining pigs get the all clear then things can go back to normal. At the moment I'm going through so much f10 disinfectant its unreal, but it if helps my pigs I will do everything I can.
 
You're doing a brilliant job but please don't forget to look after yourself, when things calm down the loss will hit hard and you've been through so much already!
 
Sending (((Hugs))). You're doing so so well dealing with his terrible tragedy. I hope things get better for you and your piggies.

:hug::hug::hug: I am glad there has been no further casualties thanks to your quick action and great care. I'm still so sad that whatever it is/was swept thru the herd with such devastation.
 
Oh dear thats absolutely awful. Having lost 3 within 2 weeks recently I can just imagine how heartbroken you are. Big hugs from me. I hope you find out what happened x
 
I've just caught up on this Ruth, I'm gobsmacked to say the least! :( I'm so sorry you've had to go through this, truly awful :soz: I sincerely hope you can find some answers.

RIP piggies xx
 
I'm not so good this morning :( All the piggies are fine, but it's really hitting me. My anxiety (I have an anxiety disorder) has gone through the room and haven't slept all night :( Been to the docs this morning as I know I have to get on top of it when I have flare ups. :(
 
Well done for seeing the doc so quickly.
Hopefully they can come up with a plan to help you get your anxiety back under control.
But honestly I think it is hardly surprising your anxiety has flared up given what you have been through recently - anone would be hit hard by such traumatic events, so hang in there and remember to be kind to yourself.
Huge hugs from Switzerland for you and your piggies today. :hug:
 
Aww big hugs to you, I have anxiety too so I understand how horrible it is.Its understandable you feel this way though.Hope you feel better soon xx
 
Sorry I have just picked on this thread. You must feel awful Ruth, your an experienced owner so it's nothing done. The waiting for answers must be heartbreaking. Big Hugs to you.

Be kind to yourself - I agree with @Swissgreys and @Gem789 when you go through something traumatic like this it is understandable to feel this way and have this reaction and also how important it is to keep on top of it so you can keep functioning looking after yourself others and your piggies
 
Oh no :( Glad you're getting on top of it, can't let it get on top of you!

It's totally understandable after the trauma you've been through and it's not easy when people tell you to look on the bright side but now that the pigs are stable it's time to look after you.

Virtual hugs galore :hug:
 
Anxiety sister right here. Do your best to take care of yourself as I know it can overwhelm everything. As absolutely awful as this all is, you've got this xx
