The Pigs 2011

by Kate Glasgow - 19:11 on 09 September 2011

Disaster struck when the 2 pink pigs were 4 months old - long nose suddenly was wobbly on her legs and died the next day, the autopsy showed a systemic fungal poisoning and there had been some mouldy food which we unknowingly gave them.

Have a look at the discussion on The River Cottage Forum and The Accidental Smallholder Forum. We did get compensation from the feed supplier who reacted with compasion.

The vets at Scottish Agricultural College were most supportive and professional.

We had to get another pig quickly as they hate to be alone and the breeder had a younger sister available, she is very pretty and inteligent.
