[Gpdd] mystery illness - what killed my piggie???

[BunsnPigs at aol.com]

Daniella, I'm sorry you lost your little one. It sounds like classic  
congestive heart failure. Piggies drink a lot, and eventually the heart starts  to 
give out. A lot of fluid starts surrounding the heart and it eventually gets  
worse and worse. I've seen it lots of times. There isn't anything you can do to  
help stop it, although some people have had good luck with medications if it 
is  caught early enough.
