It’s hot out here! So, Hoof and Horn is offering an indoor pig care promotion for August and September! If we can examine your pig in the AC, we’ll give you a 10% discount on services that day! So it’s a good time to schedule vaccinations, hoof trims, tusk trims, or physical exams of your pet indoor/outdoor pigs. Give us a call or text at 919-999-6611. We are now traveling an hour away from our home base, and can hopefully come out to you.

Great diagram and info on lambing and kidding presentations. If your vet can’t get there quickly and if you feel comfortable, you can help deliver a baby that is malpositioned.

This is a c-section we did on a goat this month. The doe was bred by a large buck by accident, and since she was unlikely to have the kids on her own, we did surgery to get them out. The doe did not fair too well this time, but the kids are doing great.
