Thanks for all the replies.  We took Alex to the vet and he had phemonia.  The vet gave him a 3 shots, vitamin c, fluids (he was a little dehydrated) and a antibiotic baytol.  The vet gave me baytol to give to him twice a day in a little syringe.  He also said to give him apricot nectar.  Man what a different pig he is doing great, running around with his brother spot (i assume it's his brother) we bought them at the pet store together).  

One other question i have is spot is making mating sounds and tries to get up on his brother at times.  Alex has learned just to bit him to get him to leave him alone.  Now he is biting him a lot, if he is in the way of the water, or the food etc.  Is this normal?  The vet did mention that if you don't get the males fixed they usually don't get along and need to be separated.  

Thanks again so much for all the replies =)
