Re: Nibbie's Foot Problem

I know there are other signs, but in my experience if a pig has been hopping like a rabbit it means it probably has scurvy. Then you would look for bleeding gums etc etc. Sorry if I made it unclear though, I just meant a majority. I'll be sure not to use percentages in the future.

I've tried someone holding her. It didn't work at first, but just a moment ago we got it. I used larger, human clippers and it was easier. Usually I would use the round ones but I couldn't get it with those.

For now I am watching her, her toe/nail is no longer curled under the foot pad. Just a tiny bit curved... Did that make sense? Her toes vaguely look like this: (||| The ( being the longer nail. And the | being the other 3 normal nails.

She is also still being tender on her right foot, but seems to be able to get around easier. I'm glad for that.
