Sounds like a calcium and vitamin c lack has a vet seen them? Pigs have similar physiology to humans. If you remember I was telling you guys that many western devotees seem to have a serious lack of vitamins in their diet? Well, try giving your pigs supplemental vitamins. Possibly a mineral block would do it, and orange peels. Do they get any milk? Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
