thimbling

the condition produced by the partial shedding of the horn on a claw of a pig. The horn separates from its laminae and a new claw's horn grows, gradually pushing the old horn off giving the effect that the pig is wearing a thimble. A good indication that the pigs have had a recent attack of foot-and-mouth disease.
