I took my lethal pig, Vanilla, to the vet today because I saw that she had a flap hanging from her front left paw. There was some dirt stuck in there, so I cleaned it up but saw that the flap looked different than the rest of her paw. So, the vet cleaned her paw really well and was able to get rid of the flap, which she said appeared to be a callous. At least it wasn't hurting her any! I then spoke with the vet about other health concerns I had about Vanilla, but it seems that she is fairly healthy considering her lethal status. The vet even commented that she hadn't seen a lethal pig live as long as Vanilla has (she is almost 4 years old), so she basically gave me a verbal "high five" on that one. I had been worrying lately because Vanilla had been exhibiting some weird behaviours, like not wanting to eat her timothy hay, running in circles till she was dizzy and not wanting to run on the floor (she hides behind her cage). The vet said to keep an eye on her and she says that it appears that Vanilla is getting old. She is definitely NOT in pain. Her lungs and heart sound fine and the vet did not appreciate any cysts in the ovaries. Good news!
