Hello all! I found your site while researching illnesses that our little piggies suffer from. Our girl Rosie is three years old and hasn't been eating or drinking and pooping a lot! I'm very worried about her. I have made an appointment for her this afternoon. We love her so much and she really is a precious girl!

Welcome to the forum!

I hope the vet can help find out what is wrong with your little girl. And I hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Hello! Sorry to hear about Rosie. Give us an update once you get back from the vet tomorrow. I'd love to hear how she's doing.

If she's not eating much, she may need handfeeding -- they have to eat, or it turns into a real medical emergency. Post back here after you get back from the vet and let us know what they say.

Thank you all for your comments and concern. We had a 3:30 appointment for Rosie and my daughter gets out at 2:45 so I took Rosie with us. She passed away less than a minute before my daughter got to the car. It was awful! We had a little service for Rosie but we are still grieving her loss in our home.

Thank you everyone! She is ready to get another one! I think we're going to wait until after the holidays. Rosie may have just been old? She was completely white but her hair started to get brown spots. Gosh....she was a sweetie! I think she was the sweetheart of the store son when we brought her home she had already been well loved.
