Critical Care Probs, and bloating
I'm so sorry. I have been peeking in on this thread hoping that Alfie would be feeling better soon. I have had some gassy pigs before, but nothing that severe.
What you mentioned about his feet and head moving-I am wondering if that is part of the death process? I just lost my first piggie last month, and that final morning he could not raise his head nor move his legs or hold himself up. But right before he passed in my arms, his legs were kicking back and head stretching out rhythmically for maybe 6 times or so? The last time I heard a little sound and he opened his mouth and that was the end.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so so sorry you lost him. It's so hard to see such sweet little creatures sick. I just went through this with one of my girls and lost her too. I'm curious just for learning purposes when you talked about removing air from him were you needle tapping him? I want to learn what I can and hope you don't mind the question.
Take care!
