Hi Woody50

Sorry to hear about the problem with the hog and sorry none of us has noticed this sooner. I’m not a carer/rehabilitor myself, but it sounds as if you need more advice, either from the wildlife hospital or another carer/rehabilitator.

If the hog is not otherwise unwell, I would have thought it should be released back where you found it (it will be very stressful for her being in captivity – although reading again, not sure if that’s what you meant). If she is not unwell but just pregnant and is shortly to produce, she will be wanting to make a birthing nest. But I’m not sure from what you are saying if the hog is unwell as well as being pregnant. If I were you I would definitely ring someone for more advice as to how you should proceed. You will be able to explain things much better to them than is possible on the forum.

Good luck. Hope all goes well.
