Sunshine meets her new friend
Well Lola is 100 percent pregnant. And because of the timing she has got to be within a week or so of having the babies. The vet was great, did an xray and we can see for sure 4 little piggies in there with a small chance of 5 (holy cow!!!!).
Since we can't be sure on the age of Lola, and we don't know of any previous pregnancies, a Cesarean may have to be done if she has any trouble during labor.
The exotic vet at the clinic I went to only takes 1 day a week off and she said she would still come in if it happened to fall on her day off. Lola is back in her cage with Sunshine and doing fine.
The good news is she is in very good health according to the vet. So please everyone send good vibes this way and let's hope for the best!

Well good cibes for her then. I really hope things go smoothly and the father doesn't carry the roan/dalmatian gene!
"Hi everyone! Don't mind me, I'm just checking out some nice spots to maybe settle down and have 4 piggy babies!!!
As you can see Ms. Lola has really developed some nice curves. :)
I am so nervous/anxious and just want this to happen!!!! I get so scared that it will happen while I am at work or even sleeping. The pigs are in my room so maybe I have myself trained enough to wake up if I hear any unusual piggy noises.
I'm convinced Lola is just trying to pack on the weight so she can pass for almost the size of her buddy! Sunshine is being so brave for Lola and took her on a nice tour of the cage once daddy had changed all of the sheets!
Nothing works up an appetite like a brisk cage jog!!!
I hope I will bring good news soon. :)
Well I just home from work and thought all was clear. I went about cleaning the cage but when I lifted up the pigloo Lola was under I was shocked to find 3 baby pigs in there with her!!!
They are soooooo tiny and adorable. :) Lola seems to be doing fine and did her usual run away thing when I lifted the pigloo. Lots of water has been drank since I filled it last night and Sunshine doesn't drink much so it must be Lola.
I'm scared though because the vet said she thought she could make out 4 babies on the xray. There are definitely only 3 here and from the looks of how dry the piggies are and how dry the spot was where you can tell she went into labor, you can tell it probably happened at least several hours ago. I went to work at 7:00am and got home at 1:00 PM.
I need some advice on whether I need to take Lola in to make sure there are no more in there or if its been long enough? I don't know, I've just never done this before!

If the vet was pretty sure about 4, I would advise taking her in. If there were complications with the pregnancy, by the time she starts showing severe signs it might be too late?
Somebody confirm -- I have NEVER had a pregnant pig. I would at least *call* the vet I took her to and get their advice.
