[QUOTE="Jalopy, post: 657193, member: 7856"] I'm not being critical but when it happened to my pigs it was usually caused by them getting cool at night and piling to keep warm thus causing the bottom ones to prolapse, or they got a cough from dust or slight cold and when they coughed hard they would have a "blow out" -prolapse. So I was just thinking along those lines when I suggested that you could possibly help prevent it in the future. But I forgot that some pigs seem to just have a genetic weakness that will allow this easier than others. Same as some pigs have a tendency to rupture easier than others. I was not trying to offend you at all. Just giving my experience. Outdoor pigs in Iowa where I live are usually the most prone to these problems during spring and fall when they ground is warm in the daytime and when they bed down then cools off as the night settles in and they will not move together until they are cold then they pile to get warm. Just my experiences. [/QUOTE]
