4 or 5 days ago I noticed that Tiger, one of my pigs had a limp paw. When he walks around he curls his front left paw in. Sometimes he puts a little bit of pressure down, but not much. Is this something that will heal over time or do I need to see a vet? Is there anything I can do to help? :confused:

I'd take him to the vet as soon as possible. It sounds like he's in pain.

Is there any swelling and/or discoloration?
I would take him to a vet.
Hope all goes well.

No swelling or discoloration. He's walking on it again... I guess him and my other pig got into a bit of a tussle. Thank you for your concerns though!

Good to hear! All that rough housing is great till someone gets hurt - At least that is what my mom always said :)
