Hopefully I can get some help here. Where I work we had a female that laid a clutch of eggs. This is her second clutch. The day after she laid her eggs I noticed that she wasn't looking real good. By the way she laid her eggs on Monday. So I have been soaking her every day since Tuesday. Each time I soak her she poops a very tiny bit. She has now laid 2 more eggs since then. The one I found this morning was all shriveled up and black. I have not noticed her eating since she laid her eggs either. She is normally the biggest pig I have ever seen. So what I am wondering is if there is anything else I can do for her other than soaking her. And should I try force feeding her or would that just make matters worse? Also if she was to get pregnant again would it be more likely that this would happen again since it already happened once? Thanks in advance for any help. Cara

Sounds like she still has eggs in her. I suggest getting her to a vet asap. Eggs left in her can rot and kill her if not removed by a vet right away.

Yes I Concur and if she has eggs she has a matter of hours to days to live!! it is very important and a life or death matter.
