Osteodystrophy and Satins
Hi,
I would like to ask what kind of UVB spectrum You use? 5.0 or 10. 0 ? In reptile's lamp we have light spectrum for tropical animal (that is UV B 5.0 or 100 ) and for desert one ( UV B 10.0 or 150) http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/co ... _bulbs.php

I would strongly caution anyone from using this treatment unless the pig has had an X-ray and a diagnosis. It's important to note that an advanced case should also be treated with pain medication which should only be prescribed by your vet.
We had a pig in rescue that had this diagnosis and was successfully treated with the protocol stated here. It was a young pig with the satin coat.

Essay on breeding satins. Especially interesting is that Finland and Sweden have banned breeding satins due to the incidence/links to osteodystrophy or related conditions!
