the little pig from the animal control facility is as sweet as can be. he is smallish, his toenails were very long/coiled round and round, wood chips/bedding were stuck to several of his toes with poo, and he was seriously impacted. this happens with poor diet, husbandry, & lack of mental and physical stimulation.

i'm not sure if anyone knows about older pigs and this condition, but i am posting a link. he will need help- being emptied once or twice daily, and neutering will not help a pig once the impaction begins.

not a lovely job, but someone has to do it for them!
