I have lost so many pigs to illness I'm starting to think it's my fault. Saturday morning I noticed my little sun worshipper, Biscuit, wasn't sunbathing. I popped my head round the door and she had died. She was fine the day before, no difference in behaviour, eating habits, toilet habits, nothing. She just died! She wasn't even a year old. Her sister is fine though, but I thought Biscuit was fine.
I put up a post just after Christmas about my babies Frankie and Marmite who were dramacitcally losing weight and poor Marmite died. We thought Frankie was getting better but a couple of weeks later he died as well.
In February I was on holiday and my partner was looking after my babies and the day I came home my little girl Dutchess also died symptomless.
I lost Dutchess's sister Piggy last Summer, I think to sunstroke when I was at work and I blame myself so much for this. I am extra cautious in warm weather now and have fans going and wet white towels over the hutches etc.
I lost Buddy New Years Day to polycytic ovaries last year.
I lost Fudge 18 months ago, suspected broken back from falling down his hutch stairs, (none of my pigs have stairs now just in case)
I lost Nibbler 15 months ago, he was only 9 weeks old. He accidentlly got in the way of an older pig and was paralysed in back legs, then 2 days later he ate his back legs, a week later he died.
It's not fair, what I am doing wrong?!
