Miss Piggy is a very protective momma

Now I have to admit that Miss Piggy is a sweetheart of a pig, and I really don’t worry about her near as much as I do angelo when working in her pen as she has much better training and manners then he does, but I am still aware that with littles ones that even more care is required.

I decided that I wanted two things from the off-piglet, first being a temp, which required making him a pig in the blanket and taking that temp.. O MY GOD< can he scream and he got Miss Piggy so worked up in the pen next to us, that she was biting the 2 by 4th, she made this high grunting and all the other piglets went from their creep pen back to her and then she just paced and I swear piggy swore at me..

Needless to say, no temp, and he didn’t seem to mind the olive oil that he got put down in the back of his mouth, but when I checked his tummy, we were back to screaming.. its got movement and softeness, and I was able to check all his joints etc.. everything looks fine and boy is he a stong one when you are holding him.

I put down the warm, wet mushed cooked potato’s, cooked mixed garden greens, cooked chopped hard boiled duck eggs, some heaping spoons of yogurt and olive oil and everyone loved it, he had a couple nips so I guess he forgave me, I had to bribe Miss Pigggy and she was still giving me piggy dirty looks when I left.. I had better bring her a apple tonight to win back her sweet look..

    Blockage?

    • That was why I wanted to give him a full exam, and I just didn’t feel it, like I said, he has softness (so not hard bloat), he has movement(typically if you are looking at a blockage, you will find a hard/harder/firm moveable spot) and he didn’t have that either.. so IF he has one, its very small and minor and should with the help of the oil, work its way out naturally. If need be, I can given an enama, we will see..keep you posted.
