CATARACTS IN PIGS

Just as in humans, dogs and cats, pigs can also develop cataracts. Not much has been done in this area except to keep the eye clean. Also be sure and watch your pig(s) eyes all the time. An injury to the eye can cost him his sight. Seek out a reputable veterinary with potbelly pig expertise when dealing with issues like cataracts and other issues that could cost the sight of your pig.

Keep the pig in a “pig friendly” area so that he knows what is around him, should he lose his eye sight. Watch and don’t set things in his way that could cause him to get hurt by tripping or running into. A mate who is sensitive to him sometimes will become his eyes.
