When the SOW is due for delivery, she would hardly move, she will not whine aloud or wheek.
It is not normal that pregnant sow to lose its fur in some part of the body. It is better to treat the fungal problem now than passing the fungal problem to the babies. The shampoo I passed to you, is safe to use on pregnant SOW.
thank you for your advise, honestly the skin around her legs looks really severe, got many flakes oso...i suspect that she maybe allergic to beddings now, coz i notice the flakes and hair loss a few days after i move her to the small cage tht i call maternity ward. there i use BC at first, then my BC finish i replace with wood shavings. My other GPs in them main cage already heal from the skin problem after i use the shampoo on them...
but how to bath a pregnant GP? i'm afraid she hurt herself n her babies i inside her if she struggle while i bath her...
1 more Q, when the delivery day is near, will the babies inside her kick like crazy as usual or will they be more quiet? 2 days ago the babies ofter kick, now they kick less, is tht a sign of problem?
sorry i ask too many Q, this is the first GP pregnancy i deal with, so i'm very worried cos i felt like i know so little..if my hamster pregnant i wont be too worried, used to it already, besides i cannot compare GP n hamster anyway...

Hi Kaoru, dont worries too much as u stress Yui can feel it too and it is cause her stress also. I know it is hard to do it but just try your best. Honetly, Jingle has totally no symptom at all. I still can remember the day when she give birth, i was still having my supper in the morning of 2am as i was preparing my exam on that day. When i bring up my supper, i actually passing by her cage and she still wheek me for vegs and fruits. But in the morning abt 10am, she was already delivered 2 babies and she even has clean up everything, i cant see any sign of blood in the cage except there is a bit on the breeder celect breeding.
It is normal for preganat sow to have hair loss problem, as Jingle also the same. Even until today's date, i still can see that she is lossing a lots of hair but her skin still ok and there are no bare on her. Or maybe did you provide her enough of Vit.C?
OMG.....so sad to hear bout Snowy, may Snowy RIP...i undrstand how u feel dear, coz we love our GPs so much, if anything happen to YUI oso it'll be hard for me to take it....
thanks for you advise ya, since 3 days ago i put her cage near me while i sleep n check on her regularly to make sure tht she's fine...i really hope everthing will be well, i cant stop worrying about her...about the vit c, i'm not sure whether i did not give her enough, coz i give her veges n fruits more than usual coz i read preg sows need double dosage of vit c...i still suspect it was the bedding. i think of bringing her to dr. Jenny but i dont know how to get there. i know there is a map but i nv been to tht area b4...i'm not very good with roads, but maybe i should just try to go according to the map...
