Rectal Prolapse?

Got my fingers crossed (and everything else) for good news tomorrow :(
 
All 9 x 14 claws crossed for Zephyr in addition to my own fingers!
 
I'm hoping for a good update too. Fingers crossed. xx

This is the pig I mentioned before, she was obviously a lot older and circumstances were very different, and the thread goes off a little in places, but the long and short is that it has happened. Very different to Zephyr of course.

GL has a few threads on uterine prolapse, they're under the impression a spay is the best treatment. Seems like there's no easy way out if the pig continues to reprolapse.
 
Sorry to say the vet rang at 8am to say she had prolapsed for a third time, and unfortunately once it has happened more than once you're in a pretty hopeless situation (I knew this when they put it back the second time).

Sadly Zephyr was put to sleep a little while ago. I will post in Rainbow Bridge shortly, just wanted to update this one first.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words - sorry there wasn't a happier ending.

The babies fed well throughout the night (from a spoon!) and have adopted a cuddly brown labrador toy as their surrogate mum for now.

Oh no, poor Zephyr, she did so well carrying those little ones and delivering them it's very sad that she's no longer here. :( I'm so sorry she didn't make it. Big hugs to you and Zephyr's babies. xx
 
We are really sorry to hear this. The poor little lady, hope her babies stay ok. We'll be thinking of you and them (Monja, Stig & Shui).
 
I am so sorry for her she must have had a hard labour and with her being weaker from her bad background must have been too much for her RIP Zephyr

Big hugs to you Sophie you did all you could for her and no one could have done anymore
 
Oh no Sophie, poor little Zephyr, will be thinking of you and those little piggies x
 
I am so sorry to hear that, hope the little ones continue to do well xx
 
Aww Sophie i'm so sorry to hear she didnt make it, we had everything crossed for her here. Sending a huge piggy hug your way xx
 
Oh no! I haven't been around for a while and am so very sorry to hear about Zephyr. She had a tough little life but was so loved and cared for in the short time she was with you.

Thoughts are with you and her little ones xx
