Got two piglets approx 8weeks old. Got them home and one looked like he had a nail head or round scab on him at mid back, figured I'd deal withit in morning. This morning that circle was gone and little blood had come out. I got hydrogen peroxide and scrubbed it clean in the cut and it looks like a canine tooth hole. Maybe half in by half inch. I spoke to the seller and said pig looks fine. He wants me to bringnit back and get a different one. Should I be worried. I figured id give it a tetnus shot and it would just heal up?

I'd take the seller up on his offer to exchange it for another one personally.

Sometimes they will get bitten by momma or another pig in the pen. Personally I would take the seller up on the exchange offer. I had one piglet bit and it healed up with a dip in the side and a nice round scar. Not attractive.
