Pot bellied pigs DESPERATELY need hooves trimmed!!

[keyt1969]

I have 2 female pot bellied pigs that are almost 2 years old. One is very friendly, lets us pet her and rub her belly. The other will not let us touch her at all. She was a rescue and we believe she was abused in her first 6 months.

They both desperately need their hooves trimmed. We tried to trim the friendlier one but it freaked her out and of course we can't even touch the other one. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you need to find a local faryer. Probably misspelled that, but they are experts in trimming hooves; from horses to pigs.

I did a quick Google search on Eaton Rapids Farrier and found this:

Codys Farrier Svc
7933 Upton Rd, Laingsburg, MI 48848 » Map (517) 651-6161

I would call your vet and ask for a recommendation.

Some pigs have to be sedated to have their feet done.... Been there, done that. Bring your earplugs....
