She didn't want to get out of bed this morning and wasn't interested in her food although she drank well.
At evening meal time she is still the same despite me putting the pig nuts right under her nose. She came out slowly, had a good drink and enjoyed me scratching her back and then went back to bed. Her tail is curly.
any advice?
Went to feed them and she was dead in the ark. I'm not sure what to do next but will ring the vets when they open at 9am

How old is she? One of our pigs was like that the first time she came into season. The vet gave me some antibiotics in case it was a chest infection. When I went to administer said antibiotics, she saw the apples I had taken for her companion and was straight out to eat! I don't know if it was going to be a routine thing as she went for pork not long after.

Louise she is 26 weeks and is booked in on her one way journey for next Wed (perhaps she knows)

Ours was about the same age. See if she is better tomorrow. Is there clear fluid around her vagina?

Our boy GOS went like this a couple of weeks ago and he is a similar age.  He also seemed a bit bloated.  We added oil to his food and this seemed to ease the passage (so to speak) and he is now back to his usual self.

Just been up and taken her temperature and its normal but she was sick twice while I was there. I don't think she has been sick before now. 
They are in a pen that is basically just mud now. The only food she has access to is what we give her, so I know she hasn'y eaten anything poisonous its just pig nuts and lately water melon and courgettes.

Could it be a touch of heat stroke? I know we have all suffered here, humans and dogs so think pigs could too.......just a thought

[Bionic]

It hasn't been that warm in Wales so doubt its heatstroke. Keeping my fingers crossed that she just comes bounding out of the ark in the morning

we hope everything goes ok and she is better soon

Could well be that she is in season she is the right age.

[shygirl]

mine was ill with her first season, had a uterine infection and white discharge  (and so was our dog who got cystitis)

[sidds]

Our OSB was like that every other time she was in season, nothing to worry about as she was up and about after a day of that

Oh no! Be interesting to hear what the vet says.
We are just raising our first three boars (Booked into the butchers in 3 weeks). They go off food a bit from time to time but here I think it's just the heat (Very hot lately). They laze around in the sun a lot.

I guess these things happen from time to time, doesn't make it easier though...

hope other pigs are ok!!!
