Title: Boar Hog Tumor!! Post by: setxhogdogs on January 04, 2013, 01:53:33 am I've got a 175 pound boar hog in a pen and just noticed a large lump on his front shoulder near his foreleg! He runs around fine..no limping! Wondering if I should catch him and lance it or try to draw out whatever in it with a syringe ...what do y'all think? ??

If it's an abcess you can try and lance/drain it but if it's a potential cancerous growth or tumor I'd cull him. |
