Has anyone seen this blue tissue in pigs?

I haven't seen it, but will be keeping an eye out for it as I plan to hunt pigs.

Good information to know!

That rodenticide fell off the CA approved list in 2025.
Too bad, there is an antidote in case your dog gets into it.
The replacement chemical has no antidote.
Just another thing to buy out of state.

Yes, but it will be a sad day if I start dressing a pig and see some blue tissue...but in that report it said they found pig in the Monterey area, so maybe I'll be ok. I'll let you guys know when I get a pig.

Bears are the pig of the forest. Omnivores.
Better check their stomach contents if you’re hunting them

Oh my info on this rodenticide- my wife is a DVM and I used to train garden center employees on chemicals.
