Sometimes, despite our best efforts, emergencies happen. A cracked hoof. A sudden limp. An infection. When your pig is in pain, you need help fast—and that’s where we come in.
Signs of a Hoof Emergency
- Limping or reluctance to walk
- Bleeding or visible cracks
- Swelling or heat in the hoof
- Curling hooves that twist the leg position
What You Can Do Immediately
- Keep the pig calm and contained
- Avoid forcing movement
- Do not attempt a trim yourself if you are untrained
- Contact a professional ASAP
