Another sad case, 449g male hog came in after being seen dragging a back leg.

There was no option other than to have the hog euthanised by our vets.

Tracy collected two wee hogs from two different Vets today, one at lunchtime, and one late afternoon. The first one
Here are some photos of some of the hogs that were released yesterday into a lovely large garden with several hog houses. There is plenty of natural cover for the hogs, large lawns to search for worms etc on and easy access to other adjoining gardens. The hogs are also supplement fed her, as the residents love to watch the hogs feeding.
