RESCUE PIG

Question
YESTERDAY WE RESCUED A POT BELLY PIG FROM AN OLDER LADY (71 WITH A PACE MAKER) THAT CAN NO LONGER TAKE CARE OF THE PIG.  THE PIG WEIGHS APPROX 300 TO 350 LBS AND THE HOOVES ARE APPROX 4&5 INCHES LONG.  SHE HAS BEEN FEEDING HER DOG FOOD.  SO WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS IF YOU HAVE ANY GOOD IDEAS FOR A DIET FOR HER AND HOW MUCH I SHOULD TAKE OFF HER HOOVES AT A TIME

Answer
Hello,
The best feed to feed her is Infinity Plus.  It is wonderful for keeping your pig at the proper weight.
I would also order the Vit/Min supplement to make sure she has a balanced diet.
Take away most treats and make sure she has just what she needs and nothing more.  
I would suggest you have a Vet come to your house and take care of her feet as it will take several trimmings to get them back into shape.
You can purchase the feed ad Royaldandie.com.  Go to the product page.
Hope this helps and good luck with her.
