Spaying after babies

Question
Can we spay our mini potbelly pig after she has her babies. She is 11 months old.  

Answer
Yes, she can be spayed after having her babies. Ideally, she should be spayed after delivery and before she goes into heat again. Because your piggy is so young, she should see a vet before delivery. There is a list of vets in the US that see pot-bellied pigs here www.farec.org
