Cindy, thank you for your thoughts.  I'm beginning to believe that it was the hot weather we were having.  This week the weather has cooled considerably and she (as well as everyone else) has gotten much more active in general.  The only time I've seen her even laying down is when I start scratching the top of her head, but she doesn't lay on her side ... she starts stretching out lengthwise and flattens out ... it's so cute.  Mostly she rests sitting up on all fours, right up against Daisy.

Sometimes she does seem to just sit and not react to anything ... but as soon as something touches her, she reacts.  It still seems a little strange to me, as Daisy (as all "normal" young pigs do) reacts to things much further away ... but perhaps this is just her way.

The head tilt remains ... at least most of the time ... but it still doesn't seem to affect her balance.  She hasn't been gaining any weight, but she's not losing it either ... so she may be on a plateau ... unlike Daisy who is becoming chunkier and getting that brick-like adult shape.
