Hope she pulls through for you.

This morning when I got up she was a limp noodle. She was hypothermic and unresponsive. I gave her anither drench and moved her closer to the water. She was moving, but still down, when my husband got up to check on jer after I left.

He was going to give her more calcium but I'm officially out of CMPK. Guess I'll get some and being it home and pray she's still with us.

I'm about to leave work, I'm worried about her. I will update y'all then with her prognosis. I called my vet and he said if she's still alive, come by and he will give me some injections to try and boost her metabolism.

Toni is still nursing Rita's piglets as of this morning.

Hoping for the best!

Aww, that is tough. I am so sorry that Rita is sick and I hope you don't lose her.

 

[Ferguson K]

She's on her feet!!

Gave her another drench and another 1.5cc of calcium, it'll be the last that I give her. She ate a little, which is huge! She fought us hard during this evening's drench and that's big.

I'm going inside to sit down for a bit then I will check on her again.

We have two bottle pigs who can't keep up. They're going to be spoiled

We would've had three but the one I pulled yesterday that sunburned didn't live through the night.

Here's Rita up and active!

She ate a little when we fed. Good thoughts here! She is still fairly miserable.
