We had to put down Zippy this afternoon.
She had another stone in her urethra, and the doctor said that when they come back that quickly, it will likely be an ongoing issue. She was in a lot of pain, so we decided to let her go.
They gave her an anesthetic so she would go to sleep, and let me pet her until she fell asleep. Then they took her in the back for the final part, where she would actually die.
Zippy was one of our "surprise" pigs from Pitter Pat, who we had not realized was pregnant when we brought her home. She's also one of the first pigs we were able to name. She zoomed around the cage so much that we just had to name her "Zippy!" She zipped.
We are glad that we were with her the day she was born, and we were sad to let her go on today. She was a good pig.
