there is no true diminutive for sow, hog, etc, as these terms are used for adult animals. i.e. those capable of reproduction.

The name for a non-mature pig is piglet, so one could have a sow piglet.

btw the diminutive for a fountain pen is inkling.

It may well be that is only for humans that we have gendered names for the juveniles.

girl/boy, lass/lad
