Slug Bound Extraction Video - Graphic

southernboids Apr 25, 2008 09:42 PM

This is our Hypo Hog that apparently did not empty last year when she slugged out. This is the unfortunate results of one year old slug that just refused to budge and had to be removed.

Shortly after she was able to push all but one of the remaining slugs out. I have waited two days hoping she would complete the job but it looks like part two of this video will be Saturday night. I bet she is not as happy.

So how is Mom? And how did you get her to just sit there and put up with that? LOL Was she really that far into a trance like state from labor? Just curious. My females seem more aware of my presence during labor.

Interesting video for sure. I hope I am never forced into such a situation. But at least I have an idea of what measures COULD be taken just in case.

Thanks!

I have had to do exactly that four times. None of my females were as happy to have it done as it seems your female was though. Sometimes you gotta be the doctor! Great stuff and even better than you had the foresight to video tape it!

I liked the sound effects nearing the end too! Great stuff!

Thanks much!
