I was just wondering what everyone thought about this..
One of my pigs got really sick the day before her first birthday, and we thought it was a UTI so we started her on antibiotics and it seemed to help a bit. A few days later I was moving her to a temporary cage to clean the other one and I felt something shift in her belly, and a few minutes later she passed a large mass and started eating it. It didn't look like it was anything at all, and she's been fine since then. The vets opinion was that it was a fetus which had died and began rotting inside of her, and since she hasn't been around a boy since I got her it would have to have been concieved when she was 2-3 weeks old, which is really young.
So basically, my question is if she would be able to get pregnant again and safely birth the baby? I realize that after 6 months the pubic bones fuse together if the mother hasn't had a baby yet, but I'm not sure if its the hormones from pregnancy which cause the lack of fusing or the physical act of a baby passing through the canal?
I was just wondering because she seems lonely and also she is frequently trying to have sex with my other female pig which obviously doesn't work and seems to be confusing the other pig.
