labour

Question
my pig has made a nest and  hasn't ate her meal for a day or more and was sleeping when i last checked on her. when she heard me she woke up let out gas and came yellow .......... i was wondering is she sick in labor for sure and when would she pig if its 845 now.

Answer
I am not a veterinarian and can not make a medical diagnosis over the internet. Many things can go wrong during pregnancy and delivery. Any time a pig won't eat, the problem is serious. Your piggy should see a veterinarian. There's a list of vets that see pigs at www.farec.org

Labor has three stages. The first stage is usually nesting. The second stage is active labor when the babies are expelled. This can last from 8 to 24 hours. Piglets can be born between 5 minutes and 8 hours apart.

After all the piglets are born, the placentas must be expelled. That's the third and final stage of labor. If all the tissue is not expelled, Momma pig can become extremely sick and die.

Good luck with your babies, piglets are adorable.
