Hello all
I miss the old group as well, and would love it if we could all get together
for a chat...
Unfortunatly this message comes with bad news...
I'm sure you all remember Gella...the little baby pig that almost was lost
to me (her mum stopped nursing because her milk was dried up), well the mum
(Gidget) passed away yesterday...
She was taken to the vet monday because her breathing sounded like griding
teeth and because she had lost so much weight she had gone to bones. The vet
said that there isn't much that can be done for respitory problems in pigs,
but put her on an antibotic to give her a fighting chance. She was looking
up for a while, and was even eating alot of pured carrots, vitamin C, and
food on friday...but saturday while i was at work, my parents were looking
after the little thing, and she stopped eating, and drinking, and they
couldn't get her antibotic in her...she passed away in the afternoon.
Unfortunatly this isn't the only bad news that I've recieved - this along
with my poor old dog of 12 years (he was 14 years old) passing on thursday,
plus someone breaking into my car on that same day...well, this hasn't been
the easiest of weeks...

On the up side, Gella is a HUGE pig (and a little bit too fat...) and Gollum
is doing well too. I'm housing my boyfriends newest edition while he goes
out of town for xmas - her name is Peanut...I'll have to send in a picture!

Gollum and Gella (Gidget's mate and daughter respectivly) seem to be
different since she passed...
Has anyone ever noticed that their pigs know when something like this
happens? My boyfriends male also made odd noises when I picked up after I
she had died...
Has anyone else had anything like this happen?
Also, with pnemonia in pigs, is this contagious, and should I be concerned
for my other 2 pigs health??

Hope to talk to everyone soon, but I must go...

Nancy
