You don't have any farm vets near you? Farm vets will normally make house calls so you wouldn't have to travel anywhere. They may also not be very well advertised as small animal vets. My vet for example kind of keeps himself on the down low. I wouldn't of even known about him if it wasn't for...
Separate. Separate. Separate.
I have heard some horror stories from people not separating mama from the rest of the group. Things could happen to the babies or mama could get very aggressive towards her pen pals. It's just the safer root. You would be amazed at the mood swings mother pigs can...
