[Gpdd] [HEALTH] sudden paralysis

[Lauren Buhr]

My 10 month old pig has some problems with her hind legs.  It developed practically overnight when she was three months old.  Her vet said that the joints in her hind legs were fused at the hocks and knees, and was likely genetic.  (too much inbredding, or something similar)  Anyway, I have had a really hard time accepting that there is nothing that I can do about it and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem.  Piggie just doesn't get enough excersize because of this.  She just sits in the corner of her cage, well, in one spot in general.  She simply won't move unless she absolutely has to.  She is perfectly healthy otherwise.  I anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be happy to hear them.  I'm sure Piggy would too.
