Hello all,
I picked up two GOS weaners a couple of months ago from a reputable breeder that I have used before. Last time (about three years ago) one of them got what I assumed was a small hernia around his winkle. It never got much bigger than an orange so never really worried about it and they were great pork!
When I collected them this time (the breeder was away), one of my selected piggies hasd a small hernia but i didn't worry too much about it. Now it is the size of a cantaloupe melon, but is not getting any larger. He appears in no discomfort and is quite happy.
I heard (no idea if this person knew what they were talking about) said the meat will be tainted and I should kill the pig.
I have photos if anyone needs to see it....just email me.
Any advice?
