Update on Meg:
Meg is now all skin and bone. She weighed in this morning at 765g. She now takes around 2-3 hours to eat breakfast and dinner and Christian helps with lunch as I don't want to separate them for all Meg's meals. She is still a happy piggy and still runs off when I try to pick her up for weighing and medicating. Her eye has cleared up which I wanted to happen before she toddled of to the Rainbow Bridge. It feels as if she is having her last few happy todays. I hope she will slip off peacefully in her own time. For the last couple of weeks on cleanout day I have wondered if I am doing the right thing by washing her snuggle sack and washing all her scent off it.

I have been in touch with a local rescue I found on Facebook which has really good reviews, a strict rehoming policy and will help with introductions. They don't have any single sows in their foster homes at the moment though. I filled out the questionnaire and they didn't pick up on anything that I put on there so I guess I must have passed the first test. Next is a home visit at some point.

Are you giving up Christian or am I missing something. . X
 
Glad that Meg's eye is better and that she's at least comfortable enough to keep doing piggy things. You're a wonderful piggy mum to Meg and all your herd.

It reminds me of when my poor Zebedee was ill and went right down to 800g, he was nothing but skin and bone too. He did enjoy his syringe feeds though which made it easier. But he stayed that weight for 6 weeks or more before it finally all became too much ☹

Thinking of you both 💞 :hug:x

I think she is planning ahead to find Christian a new piggy-wife when the time comes, so he doesn't have to be on his own for too long

Yep you are correct. I am planning ahead. Sorry I should have made myself clearer. I could never give up any of my Piggies!

There will be a lucky little lady out there waiting for a home with you out there. In the meantime I hope little Meg is alright and drifts off peacefully when the time comes x

Yesterday Meg was in the run outside and was enjoying it. Not been in garage yet as a bit early and I don't want the piggies to think they will get breakfast before 6am as they'll expect it early every day!

Lovely. She's a little love . .
 
Meg has just finished her breakfast grass and pellets and has just been put outside in the run. At the mo it is cooler outside than in the garage as the run is in the shade of the house. She is a little fighter and I thought that by now she would have been reunited with Velvet at the Rainbow Bridge. She is determined to go on living a bit longer. She looked brighter this morning than I have seen her in a long time. Clearly she doesn't want to leave her brother Christian on his own.:luv:

Well little Meggie Pops weighed in at a very low 760g this morning, only ate half her breakfast grass and half a strawberry top but she did eat all her nuggets (1 tablespoon). She has now lost 70g in 2 weeks but she keeps soldiering on bless her. :wub:
