Health Links

On this page I have provided links direct to specific topics of information to make it easier for you to find the advice you are looking for. Please let me know if you find a dead link or can recommend another page you feel would be useful to people. All pages are the opinion of the author only and none can replace the advice of an experienced vet who has your pig in front of them to make an accurate diagnosis. If there is anything wrong with your pet, please get them to the vet as soon as possible as delaying getting any treatment may cause unnecessary suffering and could cost them their life. Remember to find a good vet before you need to use one - the time you would have to spend looking for one in an emergency could have saved your pigs life!
