Well went through a horrible week of worrying about my pigs. The first suspicious event was Denali dying 10 days after she had delivered. Her delivery went fine.

we had a run like that last spring...lost 4 sows, 3 of whom were pregnant and 2 litters (mom's made it though) It's never easy.

I'm going though that now. Lost 2 int. boars. And right now I got a sow who is very important to our new program that's sick she is going to vet as she has a will to live been nursing her for 3 days she is skin and bones. She's live this long she get to see the exoctic vet. Who is only here once a week. Can't see waisting time and money on a vetwho know nothing about piggies.

She didn't make it she past in the night. But am thinking about going to vet away to meet her and talk about getting some antibotics in case anyone else gets sick when she's not here. I guess she makes round in different town or something. She is supposed to be for Davis. Think this might be a good game plan.
