Charlie's Medical Thread

[Raine59]

Thanks for sharing the pics. I was going to ask but didn't want to be pushy. She looks about ready to burst. She obviously didn't object to the photography session so she must be in good spirits. She's such a pretty girl!

Welcome! She is in very good spirits, shes been purring all day long, and LOVES to be touched. Just not so much on her stomach, but she lets me do it if I start of with a little neck massage. She loves her spine rubbed too. I agree about the bursting, shes a small pig as it is, and this is just way over sized for her. Her nipples have migratd to the side of her stomache! My husband laughs at her and said she's going to have roll them up and tuck them in her jeans when she's done..LOL

She's so cute. She looks like Georgee, my daughters piggy.

I checked, saw that you'd posted pics and was all excited to see baby pics and then I realized it was just pics of Charlie about to explode! Cute pics of Charlie but I was kinda disappointed C'mon babies!! It's night time... I hope to see some new little munchkins in the morning!!!

 

[charliespet]

@schavarry sorry LOL I had a user as for pics! I waited up past mid night hoping last night, still nothing. The babies are still kicking and all!

BTW I saw Charlie doing something I've never seen her do last night. She was moving the fleece around and pulling and tucking it with her teeth...then she would sniff the floor and turn in circles, lay down, fix the fleece, and repeat the whole process...

I feel your anticipation @charliespet lol. My Sugar is gonna pop any day now. She looks SOOO uncomfortable. She was laying in the cardboard box hidey and my husband saw her and he's like "She looks like a big furry pancake the way her belly is all over the place" Poor baby!

 

[Raine59]

Sounds like she is restless...surely it will be soon. I wonder if she knows how many people are eagerly anticipating this birth!!

Well, when I told her last night, she just turned around and pooped. haha. But, who knows it could be today. I feel confined to my house!

Guess what?! The Babies are here! 3 and all healthy so far, and Charlie is doing great! They were born just after 8 o'clock. One looks exactly like its father, and then a chocolate brown abby, and a tortishell smooth hair! They are all so different! Tomorrow I will take individual photos.

 

[schavarry]

YAY! Adorable babies! So glad momma and babies are doing well!!

 

[Raine59]

Wow, finally. They are all so beautiful. I'll bet Charlie is happy to not be dragging around that huge belly. Looking forward to more pics and news of the happy family. Nice job to all of you.

@charliespet....I thought Charlie was your only pig so where is daddy?

 

[charliespet]

@Raine59 Raisins was a boar I adopted as a "female" cage mate from a woman on craigslist. I re-homed him to a really great couple in the area. He looked just like the black and orange abby baby. I didn't want a boar to begin with because I had a nuetered male before named wilbur that had a lot of health problems, he died at age 6, and plus charlie was a girl, and her first cagemate was a pet store female who died only two weeks after my husband bought her.

Thanks everyone for the compliments...whew in one day I went from 1 to 4 pigs!

 

[littledinobug]

Well hopefully one of the babies is a girl so she can have a cagemate for life now, without relying on the guesswork of someone else, potentially less cavy savy

They're adorable! Congrats! (Means Sugar is gonna pop any day now too! YAY)

 

[charliespet]

Individual Pigtures of the babies!

Oh my goodness. Look at their little ears and paws! I could just die from this amount of cute!

 

[charliespet]

I love them all! The last one is so adorable...its ears are so floppy and cute! Now I need to sex them in a few days and come up with some boy and girl names. One more pic of the last baby! I think that its so weird charlie had 2 abyssinians, and one smooth hair!

 

[littledinobug]

So fluffy i'm gonna die

 

[Raine59]

They really look pretty big for newborns. It's hard to believe all of them fit inside Charlie at once. Any clue yet on their gender?
