I will try.

The coughing doesn't sound good, if they were mine, I would have separated then, never less than 2 together as they are sociable animals. Low temperatures, did they have cover, straw to make a cosy warm dry bed, how was their eating and drinking, did they have diahrea, what where they eating? So many questions. We're they related, where did they come from, what breed were they?

They love company of other pigs and can get stressed, depressed and even become aggressive if mistreated. I have seen how welfare can effect this but my experience is a free ranging 'whole herd', meaning they all live together, most of the time. They are only separated for welfare reasons, over here, that is usually too wet and cold for new borns, so they come inside with plenty of straw bedding but lots of ventilation.

Will get back with more later
