Hello everyone! Unfortunately, the people we got him from probably weren't the best people to go through to get a pig. They're nice people, but they don't put that type of care into their pigs from what I gathered. I actually called the lady we got him from yesterday, and I told her what was going on. She said that he probably had his fill of food. She said they only eat about a handful a day (wasn't quite sure about that). She actually offered to swap pigs, but I just couldn't. The way I figure it, he would've ended right back at the flea market. (yep, the truth's out. lol) I pretty much am certain of it. I would've been doing our little baby a major disservice. I told her we'll make him right but thanks anyway. I know he is 7 weeks old and that he is on the same feed that he was on. They also said he was weaned. (Not sure if I believe that one.) I did educate myself somewhat on getting a pig and was planning on waiting, but what can I say, I'm a sucker. He's part of the family now, and once an animal is part of the family, well...that's it! I felt like I was rescuing him. I called the vet this morning, and he told me to give a little warm milk and some Karo syrup to help perk him up. He said he very well could be stressed out and to just give him some time. We are all so attached to this little guy. The whole family has been taking turns taking care of his needs. I appreciate the advice guys. I pray his exam goes well and maybe it's just stress.
