So I've got a buddy down the road that raises 4H pigs and when things go wrong...I get the meat. His wife calls me tonight with some issues with one giving birth. (Hubby works out of town during the week) I calm her down and let her know I'll be sure to stop by after work.
I get there around 11:50 tonight and this is what I see...WTF!
I've never seen anything like it before in my life. She seems to be doing fine, breathing is good, temp is as expected. She won't get up. Still shitting but not pissing. She's taking water like a champ, but won't eat. We made the decision to let her nurse and let nature take its coarse for now.
She had 9 and 7 are nursing and doing just fine.
Not real sure why I'm sharing this with you all, maybe I just need to share it. It's never really bothered me before, but this one is. If this is TOO much, feel free to delete/edit it Joe or Jesse. It's just gonna be a long week...as they have 6 more due in the next 5 days. I honestly think this one will be swinging in the garage come morning.
