Hey friends! Guess what? Its freakin HOT as hell this week!! You know what that means...? rescheduling of outdoor hoof trimming appointments to future ( hopefully cooler and less humid) dates. I understand that this can be frustrating to clients waiting for hoof care. But I WILL NOT risk the safety and health of a pig in extreme hot weather just to trim their hooves. A pig with longer unruly hooves is better off than a dead pig from acute heat stroke! Our indoor piggies with access to air conditioning are of course exempt from cancelation, but STILL should be kept inside for a minimum of 30 minutes after a hoof care procedure in order to cool down efficiently after a potentially stressful trimming appointment. Some Piggies experience increased blood pressure during a trim and become worked up so they need time to decompress and cool off after a trim. You can actually observe their flushed , blotchy skin on the belly area in really upset pigs once you have them flipped! 😱
I appreciate everyone's understanding with our strict policies. I promise you, when it's safe to do so, we'll get your piggy trimmed up!!
