LESIONS - PIGS

• Vesicles on the snout can be large and filled with clear or bloody fluid. Mouth lesions are usually the "dry" type and appear as necrotic epithelium.
• Feet lesions are usually severe, and the hoof can become detached. Animals that die may have grayish or yellowish streaking in the myocardium with degeneration and necrosis ("tiger heart").
