I have purchased 2 Duroc/New Hampshire mixed pigs and have had them for 2 weeks and then yesterday I noticed one of them standing and then the front legs just collopsing and then walking and the same thing. She is eating, normal and not moaning or anything like she is in pain.
Now today the sister is now doing the same thing. I am FREAKING OUT!
I have one other little pig in there (black/white) and I have no clue what this is and have NEVER SEEN or HEARD of this.
I have searched the internet and found nothing and called several people and nothing as well.
What percent feed do you have your hogs on? I know that some of the higher percent feeds may cause them to strain their muscles or tighten. Causing them to not be able to walk. You may want to lower their feed. You can also try some Glucosamine to loosen them up. If you are feeding any Palene, TAKE THEM OFF NOW! I hope this helps, without being able to see, I am going with what sounds reasonable
She is eating, normal and not moaning or anything like she is in pain.The best judge of the health of your pig is "YOU". You live with the pig, you see the pigs normal actions on a daily basis.
