Lame piglet - possible snapped tendon?
« on: March 03, 2012, 06:28:31 pm »
Hi all,

Got up this morning to find a four week old Mangalitza piglet limping.  On further inspection it looks like it might have an issue with a tendon as it doesn't seem to have an tension in the lower leg (front).

Any thoughts? Or has anyone else experienced such an injury?  Might it be curable or is it bad news?

Thanks all.
Steph
