You're Such a Boar

We've had a wave of boars come in lately. First was Casey Burns. He came from a home where the landlord informed his parents that Casey would no longer be allowed to stay there. We neutered him a couple of weeks ago. Casey almost didn't make it through the surgery. He took a very long time to wake up and gave us all quite a scare! Luckily he bounced back the next day and is back to talking to girls. This boy loves belly rubs!!

Next we picked up George and Boss Hogg. Both boys were just neutered this week. George came from a loving home, but his human mom died and there was no one left to care for him. He is still shy and skittish but is getting better with us every day.

Boss Hogg was left in a small wooden pen in Kingman, AZ. He has acclimated quite well to his new home here. Boss Hogg is a busy boy and likes to talk to all his friends he has made here.

Two nights ago we picked up our newest boar. I like to call him Stinky. He was a stray in Gilbert, AZ. He is tiny! This boy was neutered today and came out of the surgery well. He is very friendly and talkative. We have noticed that his legs sort of 'give out' on him quite frequently. This is from lack of nutrition, particularly vitamin E. Vitamin E is super important for young pigs. This boy is very young and may have been taken away from his mom too early. He is getting the right nutrition now and seems to be acclimating well.
