Ailurus
New Born Pup
Hi folks,
First time post, please be nice
One of our five-year-old's two piggies, who we had around Christmas from an apparently-reputable shop, has sadly lost her battle with recurrent URI which set in within a few days of bringing them home. She had several vet trips and finished two rounds of different antibiotics but seems to have got pneumonia and went downhill very rapidly over the weekend. We are heartbroken and her housemate is clearly missing her a lot.
We'd like to get remaining piggie a new pal ASAP so that her health doesn't suffer from loneliness. We're not keen to go back to the same shop but we're not sure who is a reliable source of happy healthy pigs locally.
She is a Cali girl aged about 4.5 months, usually quite feisty, likes basil and chicory and burrowing in her hay to make sure half of it ends up on the floor.
We are in South Wales not too far from the Severn Bridge. Is there a trustworthy rescue or breeder locally we should contact? Does anyone have any recommendations for 'dating' unfamiliar females to make sure they're compatible, particularly during Covid?
