It is with great saddness that I say goodnight to Pumpkin, who passed away about 7 o'clock last night.
Pumpkin was one of my "free" pigs that I picked up at a local show. He was a little under a year old, and a very handsome Buff Satin Boar.
He had beena little off colour over the passed week, and had shown signs of impaction. He had been brought in so he could be "cleaned out" (which I was having to do every day). When I got him (and all the time I have owned him) he has never been a big pig, to be he could have done with putting on a bit more weight, but he was never skinny. Since having the impaction hr had started to loss weigth as well. Also on this last day he had startde to bunny hop around the cage rather than walk, I do not know if this was due to the impaction or due to the fact that he was a Satin and something else could have been wrong. He had been due to go to the vets tomorrow morning (the earliest appointment I could get).

So goodnight sweet Pumpkin, may your restfull days be full of grass and joyful poppcorning.
