Hi all,
I'm hoping someone will be able to help me. I am very concerned about my 8 month old female pig. I suspect she maybe pregnant as she has been running with a boar for 3 months.
She is quite large & i have separated her into her own pen, but over the last two weeks i have noticed she is struggling to walk. She spends the majority of the time lay down & when she does eventually stand up to eat, she only takes a few mouthfalls.
It started of that her front legs seemed very stiff but now she just seems to struggle to walk on all her legs. I watched her lie down earlier & she kneels first & waits about 5 minutes before pulling her back legs down.
I don't like to see any animal in discomfort especially if they are pregnant,
I just wondered if this is a common side effect if she is pregnant or is it advisable to call the vet out?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
