Is my pot belly pig pregnant?!?!?

[farmchick897]

I put my 2 Juliana's out on pasture and they have been eating so much they both appear to be pregnant and I know they are not. The spring grass coming up is full of calories.

I like the sound of that, do young pigs develope mammories? She has and they are getting larger as well as her vulva is staying swollen and getting large. But then again it could all be normal for piggies. Here are a couple of more pics of her.


I swear another inch and she will be dragging the ground. Hey mamajo does she look bigger to you since the last time you have seen Jazzy.

Def rounder. If she isn't pregnant she HAS to go on a diet lol. Do pigs even do that? Diet? I dunno. I'm just kidding though, I know absolutely nothing about piggies.

So I was wondering when do pigs start building a nest to farrow? She seems to have started one in my green house where I keep my hay. She then stole the sheet I had hanging over the crate I keep the baby chicks in. I don't know if she was playing but it is now in the middle of my yard. I am still not one hundred percent sure she is pregnant.

So here is an update on Jazzy. Today i got her to lay down and let me feel around her belly. I had done this before and I did feel something but I thought it might have been her stomach or liver. Well today when I did it I was feeling around and pressing and sure enough I felt movement and a little kick. Well I was surprised and excited. I thought maybe it was gas or something. Well I did it again and sure enough I felt movement again. So we are going to have baby piglets, now I just have to figure out when and get everything ready.

I need help fast!! I had been noticing blood in my back yard. I couldn't tell who it was from. Goat or pig. Well it is jazzy my pregnant pig. I don't see it all the time, usually after she has been active running around. I have brought her in and put her in my bathroom. Well my bathroom was flooded with bloody urine. (she fought going in their and we had to chase her around the house, even food wouldn't get her in their...smart pig). Their are no clots in the blood and she is one cepha 500 mg bid. i do have norcillin PenG injection but i didn't know if that was safe to give herbeing preggo. This is day three of being on antibiotics. I was treating both since I didn't know who was bleeding. I worry something might being going on with the pregnancy. She was attacked by a dog and tore up pretty bad but she recovered just fine. We didn't know she was preagnant when it happened. After that is when the blood started to happen. I do still feel babies moving around. Could it just be a UTI or something else??? She is still eating, drinking, andstool looks normal. She doesn't seem to be running a fever. The strange thing is I watched her urinate and I cleaned it up with a white towel no blood. In my experience with PET animals when they had UTI with visible blood it didn't come and go. Can any one help me.

I would recommend taking her to a vet. Good luck with her!

Thank you I have been talking with my vet and since I have kept her confined the amount of blood in the urine has decreased dramatically we are just going to watch and monitor her at home. We both agreed that trying to get her to the vet would stress her out bad. I think she has picked a nesting spot. yesterday we had my daughters first birthday party. I cam home and she had pulled everything out from under my sink. She then realized she could by-pass the baby gate by going under the sink. She has now got her blanket and pillow under my sink and doesn't seem to want to leave. I don't know if this is a night time bed or a nest. Here are some pics I got of her.

another question and this is behavioral. I have never seen her do this so I am not sure if it isjust play. She is grabbing things in her mouth and shaking it like a dog. I think it is play since she is trying to drag my cover off the couch. She is also restless. I am nervous since I am not sure exactly what to look for if she starts to go into labor. If anyone could help me with what to look for I would appriate it. She wants to go outside so bad but I can't let her. Not sure I am going to have a house left after this...lol
