Pigging Out

Hopefully these ‘incidents’ will reduce as time goes on. I don’t think it sounds like bullying but then sows are more subtle than boars in general. Is Bryce a peacemaker or just keeps out of their way?

He's the one who causes trouble sometimes! He would rumblestrut between them and Vegas would think both him and Ella do it, so she would chase Ella. Then Bryce just splat down to snooze! 😂

That is so sneaky! I didn’t expect that of him. He obviously like to see two women fighting (even if not over him) 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Vegas has nipped him a few times for being naughty. Ella would sometimes give him a nip too! I don't think he's at the bottom of the pack though, I think him and Ella are just level. But he really is a naughty boy. :D
 
Hope you’re all ok :) Nice to see Ella and Vegas a bit better with each other, even if Bryce is a gorgeous troublemaking little hairy sausage :)) Big hugs from us to you all! :D x

They are all okay now with each other. Ella sometimes still squeek a bit whenever she remembers that she is supposed to be scared of Vegas, but a lot of the time now they are following each other to sniff each other's bums. 😂😂 They also now all sleep together in their loft.

Bryce on the other hand couldn't care less what the girls do and just splats most of the time beside his food bowls, unless he tries to cause chaos. 🤣🤣 I even sometimes ask hubby if he is alright because he is so lazy and I wonder if something is wrong healthwise. 🤦‍♀️ But he isn't losing weight and still eats a lot. So I guess he really is just lazy. :lol!:
 
Aah so lovely they can sleep together now and just the odd squeak and some bum sniffing! :love:

Bryce has definitely got the Luigi 🐷 gene! I think Luigi must get a sore jaw from all his hay chewing sometimes! :)) But he’s actually moving around more since he lost his 100g off his bum, normally just to annoy Lolo too! :doh: Boys! :xd:
 
Looks like Ella has ovarian cysts. When we adopted her on May, I noticed that her nipples were a bit bigger than it supposed to be for her age, and it's a bit crusty. RSPCA said that she has been recently seen by their vet and no issues were found, so I just took it as her normal, but I always monitor it nevertheless.

Anyway, the other night, I noticed that her left side belly seem to be losing hair. So I checked her and her right side also have some hair loss but not as much as the left. I know this can be a sign of ovarian cysts. After I noticed that, I realised that her and Vegas constant chasing and trying to hump, etc. for the past few days probably isn't just a sign of them getting on with their closer bond now. Vegas has also lost some weight because of this constant chasing between them 2.

Hubby booked an appointment for Ella this afternoon at our local vets and she might be having a spay soon. Hopefully ovarian cysts is just the problem. Apart from those I said, she is healthy and still acts as normal piggy.

Aww I hope all goes well for Ella at the vets and that it’s just ovarian cysts and if and when she has her spay it all goes well.

🤞I hope everything goes really well on Monday for Ella x
 
Just dropped off Ella at the vets an hour ago. They are going to scan her first to make sure it's just ovarian cysts and nothing else. I've put loads of cucumber, melon, lettuce and salad leave with her, along with all the hay, to make sure she got plenty to eat. Thankfully, the vets are fully airconditioned so no worries about her having problems with the heat. 👍
 
Unfortunately, Ella didn't make it. 😭😭

She definitely had ovarian cysts. What the vet didn't expect was her having a big mass of infection (or tumour, they can't say what it was) that was attached to her cervix, bladder wall and uterus. It was the size of probably a 2 inches meatball according to the vet. They managed to remove it but it took them quite a long time and Ella lost a lot of blood. The vet phoned us an hour after the operation and told us that Ella hasn't woken up yet and that she had erratic heartbeat. She said to expect the worse and they will phone us again when she hopefully wakes up. Around 15 minutes or so of that phone call, the vet phoned us again and said Ella's heart just stopped. 😭

We are so heartbroken. 💔 We didn't expect for her not to make it and bring her home in her forever sleep. She was gone too soon. We only had her for 10 weeks (she was adopted on 7th May).

When we adopted her, we were informed by RSPCA that she hasn't really gained a lot of weight the whole time she was with them. Their vet didn't think anything was wrong with her that time. This is probably the reason why she really wasn't gaining much weight. From the moment we adopted her up to now, she has gained around 100g with us. It was a slow weight gain though compared to Bryce, Vegas and the other piggies we had, considering she ate a lot all the time. They usually gained that weight in 3 weeks from getting them.

I've let Vegas and Bryce say their goodbyes to her. Vegas was sniffing her feet, neck and belly. Bryce was sniffing her as well. They were both quiet during the time they were saying their goodbyes. 😭💔
