My husband & I (who have never raised pigs) purchased a couple of pigs 6 days ago. They are each approximately 2 months old. About 2 days after we bought them, we noticed that one of them could not stand or walk without its legs buckling every few minutes or so. This happens to the front legs mostly, but we've seen its back legs buckle too. Anyone have any idea why this happens?

Could it not be a deficiency in the diet? Could it not be turned around? ...rather than get rid of the pigs. It is a bit disappointing for a first timer, may be inquire with a vet before you make that choice.

Are these white pigs who might have been inside until you got them? Are they now out in the sun? If so my first guess would be sunburn. I have seen strange things happen when they get burned. Buckling in back and legs common when burned. If so use aloe, solarcaine, mixture of vinegar/water(spray bottle) or some type of sunburn remedy to help with the pain.
