Hi all
I recently posted about my poorly runt piggy who passed away and now Ive been closely watching mum and the other 3 babies.
Mum is looking really rough, if a pig can look rough. Her fur is very puffed out and she looks a bit dirty, like she isnt taking care of herself.
She is nursing the babies and eating her pellets and greens, but she doesnt seem to be touching her water. The levels not dropping much in the bottle overnight. Ive replace the bottle incase its blocked or faulty.
As a newby piggy owner, is this something that I should be concerned about? Little ones dont appear to have grown much but theyre only 6 days old, they are also eating well and are always under mum, suckling i guess.
Is she just tired from the birth and tending to the littles ones or could this be a vet job?
