Hi guys, so i was cleaning my room and i needed to move my mattress and rearrange a couple things so i decided to put zeus in with my other two boars, and before this they were actually in a cage together and they would chase each other thats why i removed zues before he got hurt, well i couldnt just leave him on the floor while I'm moving a huge mattress so i put him in with my two boars again, it wasnt even 10 minutes later that bodhi grabbed zues by the leg and pulled him, my boyfriend said he didnt make a sound when they faught just chittered and he grabbed zues, but ever sense after that zues has been holding the leg that got bit up, hes still walking just holding his leg up while walking and running, hes still eating and drinking and doesnt seem to be in to much pain, but do you guys think he will be alright, this happened i think 2 days ago and hes just not starting to use a little pressure, i just dont have any money to go to the vet right now...
 
If they don’t get on it’s not a good idea to put him in with them. Sorry to hear he’s been injured. Did you check the leg for any wounds/bites? It really wouldn’t be a bad idea to get him to the vet. Or at least phone them and see if they want to see him. Could you borrow the money from your boyfriend or a friend/relative?
 
no everyone in my family is broke asf and i already asked a rescue to take him but they have to many pigs right now, and yes theres a little scab where he bit him in the leg
 
Does it look like a wound. Keep it clean and speak to the vet to see. If they want to see him then ask if you can set up a pay plan.
