One of my sows was rumbling!?! I wasn't aware they done this too, I thought it was only boars? ? ?
Never heard them doing it before, she keeps chattering at all the other girls too :-\
Do you think she's in heat? ?
 
Oh right, thanks! :)
She's really grumpy when I try to handle her recently, she pushes my hand off her head. ::)
 
ooooooh my lady tries to hump her sow friend whenever shes near her ?
 
The symptoms of ovarian cust are
excessive humping of other sows
bi lateral hair loss along the sides and tummy
sometimes a lengthening of the teats
often the piggy will bulge at the sides or even look pregnant
 
She's rumbling today too.
I'm about to go and check the other symptoms
 
If you do suspect ovarian cyst,go see a vet who should be able to tell by palpation whether it is a cyst or not.If it is,you could consider a Choralon inj.these work very well in shrinking the cyst.
 
Thanks maryh
She isn't showing any of the symptoms, just rumbling. There's no humping or anything.
I'm going to keep a very close eye on her...
 
my 2 do this when in heat (and they have both come into heat at the same time), so there is a lot of rumbling and chattering of teeth going on,they seem to hate each others guts when on heat,and love each other dearly when off. 98)
 
I think she is working out who's boss. She's going to be 7 months at the end of this month and since Daisy has left us (who used to be top pig) perhaps shes trying to get thru to them its her turn.
