Mange and Severe Pododermatitis
That's great news! Thanks for the update! I've been thinking about him and was wondering how he was doing. Go Rhett!
I been wondering how is Rhett doing? Did he get to move in with your other boar? Any updated pics of the little sweetheart?

Not yet. I'm clearing him soon! Just a bit wary to put him in with my healthy pig until I'm 100% sure we got all the mites.
He's doing well on heart meds, but his foot is a constant watch. I'm hoping to get new pics in the next few days. His coat is almost 100% grown in. He's such a good boy.

New Pics! Rhett is doing fabulously. He just moved in with Ciel about a week ago and the two are acting like they've known each other forever. Very easy transition.

The left ear margin is missing a chunk out of it where his perfusion was so bad prior to starting heart meds. The dark line on the edge of the ear is where the circulation is poor. This can be hard to evaluate where pigs have very dark or black pigment. Also to be mentioned is poor pigment, especially in red or varieties with red as a color since dark or black pigment can be a normal finding in a poor quality red-colored pig. This is a disqualification (or used to be) for the show ring and happens specifically with some modifier (can't remember one of the c-ones).
