Garth was the runt of the unexpected litter of piglets that were born in August 2017. He was 1/3 the size of the other piglets and we honestly thought he had died. When we felt the heat beat we rushed him to the house and called the vet. Dr. Aaron started him on goat colostrum and due to his size we kept him in at night for his safety. He was very small and had many health complications. He had to have emergency surgery for an intestinal hernia plus he had a mild case of diabetes.
After Garth’s remarkable recovery, he decided he enjoyed the “people” life and chose not to be reunited with his littermates. Garth continues to be a very independent boy, but now fully grown, strong and full of character. Garth makes his home with 2 other pigs named Bebop and Gordie.
