Spider Pig to Meet His Maker

Today we stopped by the Esther Honey Foundation and two vets from the U.S. took a look at Spider Pig. Unfortunately, Spider Pig's prognosis is not good. He has cerebullar damage, most likely congenital. There is nothing wrong with his legs really, it's just that his brain is not able to communicate with his limbs, hence why he can't get vertical and walk. We have made an appointment for him tomorrow at 4:00 pm to be put down. I have emailed Grace to let her know, and it is for the best since her kids won't be here for it. I have never had to put an animal down before, and even though we've only had him for five days, it's not a good feeling. We had big hopes for Spider Pig. Tonight we are researching foods that baby pigs can eat, as we get ready to prepare his 'last meal'.
