New Born Pup
Hi everyone,
My piggie is a rescue that I got around 2 months ago. She's an older pig and came to me (unknowingly) already pregnant. She's given birth to 4 stillborn in the last 24 hours and a sack of water. She still has one pup inside that is creeping to the finish line. She's exhausted. I've taken her to the vet and they gave her calcium, oxytocin, antibiotics and pain relief. They advised that I had three options in the meds, a c section or euthanasia. I chose to give her a chance to come through with just medication as I can not afford the $1500 fee for the c section.
The meds seemed to work as she delivered a second water sack and placenta but then there was no baby and her contractions seem to have stopped and she just wants sleep.
I can feel the baby sitting at the birth canal but I don't know if there's a way to "pry" it out.

I agree that consulting your vet again for advise would be the best bet as sadly, nobody on the forum is legally allowed to advise you on how to help your girl push the baby out
