Thanks for asking, Cindy. We're off to Cape Cod for a week vacation, bringing the two Problem Pigs, lots of equipment, and lots of good luck wishes from kind people. Four not-sick pigs are staying home, with a friend looking in daily.
Whiskers, the other pregnant dump, is under the excellent care of LedasMom, who also adopted the two boars. Wish her luck too, because I think Whiskers is close to delivering.
I won't be online much. Will update when back.

Good luck Ledasmom, I'm sure everything will go well. Piggie is in good hands.
I tell ya, I'm pretty nervous about it, though Whiskers is looking lively (relatively speaking) right now. There's a shallow tray serving as her kitchen area, maybe an inch and a half high, and I thought I'd have to cut it down on one side so she could get in and out. As soon as she saw the hay she trotted over and hopped right in, big belly and all. She's at least twice as loud as the boys about demanding food.
Whiskers just had two babies. Her first is a skinny and her second is mostly red with a little white patch near the rump. We don't know if that's all, but she looks considerably deflated. They all look all right for now - both the little ones are up and, well, staggering, and after a period of total befuddlement Whiskers is licking them off.

Mmeadow, when would you like Whiskers back? I think she'd be glad of some adult guinea-pig company. She and the babies continue to do well, though it's difficult to pick up the babies (much too fast). They are nursing and eating everything we give them and growing. There's some (not great) pictures of them over in Cavy Chat.
