    sick micro potbelly

    We figure she must be about 6 months because she is in heat. She was off her feed Sunday (it was really hot here in FL) but seemed to become more active Sunday evening when it cooled off plus she ate supper.

    coughing pig

    I have a spotted pig that is coughing and I came across this web site and topic through Google. Her coughing seems to be worse at night and while laying down. My husband feels that it is her heart because she is fat for her age (just turned 6 months old today) and she weighs around 75 pounds...
