Cookie and her piggy siblings were all born via emergency c-section surgery on February 3, 2023. We rescued their VERY pregnant mom from another nonprofit animal rescue that had closed it's door earlier this year. From the stress of transport + malnourishment, their mom (Valentina) had a dystocia pregnancy, and needed emergency surgery. She gave birth to a total of 9 piglets, but sadly only 5 survived. Valentina was unable to produce milk for her piglets due to being nutritionally deficient for so long.

Cookie and her piglet siblings were tube-fed for the first ~3 weeks of their life; nonstop supportive care and around-the-clock monitoring & feeding. Valentina's piglets were hand raised inside our home for the first 6 weeks of their life, and now they are finally big enough/healthy enough for spay/neuter surgeries!

Sponsor Cookie to help underwrite the cost of her feed, hay, supplements, medications, and continuing veterinary care.
