hi
yet another post! ::) well i was doing my wheekly health check and it seems that Rosie has two sets of nipples :o 98)
this isn't normal, but is it possible? 98) :o ;D
 
2 sets ? :)
Do you just mean 2 nipples ?

If you mean 4 nipples then its just an abnormality just like piggies with extra toes O0
 
Hi Izzy,

I'm sure I've got a pig with 4 Nipples...I think it is Sunshine. Hmmm...too many pigs I forget! But I have seen it on one of mine. I'll have a look later on! 98)

Thanks for the PM by the way will respond later just going to get Peter from work! :)

I have a sow with 3 nipples, the other two where they should be, the last one above, and its smaller! This is from in-breeding though!
"just like friends and the 3rd nipple!" Please ignore me if you do not get it! ::)
 
Yep it is sunshine 4 nipples like choccy's extra toe! :smitten: but why? ;D
 
could be a case of inbreeding like piggys with an extra toe but i do no that extra toes sometimes arent due to the fact of inbreeding but they just appear for some reason :)
 
well sunshine was a pet shop pig so can believe he was inbred but he is quite robust (touch wood) he has never given me problems health wise. ;D
