Two pot-bellied pigs named Wilbur (black and white in color) and Cookie (black in color) were found to have overgrown hooves on all four limbs. Wilbur was reluctant to walk around the enclosure or leave the shelter. The facility representative states both Wilbur and Cookie sleep a lot and are reluctant to move often. These pigs were acquired in February and an appointment was made in April for May for hoof trims. The licensee has not contacted the attending veterinarian about the condition of these pigs beyond making the May appointment. Overgrown hooves may cause pain and discomfort and may affect the joint health of the animals. Each exhibitor shall establish and maintain programs of adequate veterinary care that include the use of appropriate methods to prevent, control, diagnose and treat diseases and injuries. Cookie and Wilbur must have their hooves trimmed and be evaluated by a licensed veterinarian.
