Greasy Pig?

[RIRs]

How do I make sure that my pigs dont have greasy pig disease? And if they do how can I treat it?
I will post pics of them tommarow.

Post those pics, change your title to indicate this.....it will attract more attention to your question. I had to google greasy pig myself!

We used to have a few that got greasy pig. They are best culled, because they suffer terribly and never do amount to much. Their skin eventually falls off, and they stay a runt all their lives. As far as I know, there is really not a good treatment for it. Prevention is the best, and by clipping the eye teeth on the newborns you will prevent most of it.

Pigs that big very rarely get greasy pig disease. Doubt that yours have it.
