Read
the story of Paige, Pearl and their piglets, then scroll down for photos & video!
Paige and her daughter Pearl were rescued from a neglect situation during the winter of 2009.
Both were pregnant at the time of their rescue. Six days after arriving Paige gave birth to her litter, and in February
Pearl had a litter as well.
It was a rough time for both mothers; Paige was exhausted, having been bred
continuously for about 2 years and Pearl, who was only a year old, had already been bred twice. Additionally, animals
should not be bred to give birth in the winter but with the help of many great vets miracles happened.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the wonderful veterinarians who provided expert care, advice and support: Dr. Meredith Bird-Veterinary
Services of Wickford, Dr. Max Balmforth-N. Kingstown Animal Hospital, Tufts University Ambulatory Service
and Dr. Chan from the wildlife clinic.
