We have noticed that Pringle has something on his lips.. not sure if it is boar glue or something else, we have tried to wipe it away but it wouldn’t come off.
Any thoughts?

If it's not a scab (chelitis) and it won't wash off then yes most likely boar glue. It's hard to tell if it's scabby from a photo so if you're worried you need to see a vet for a diagnosis.
Brillo had a huge lump of boar glue about 6 weeks ago under his chin. I was worried it was chelitis until I realised it was only attached to the fur not the skin.

Thank you, it didn’t look scabby, will keep an eye on it and hope he gets it off!
 
It’s stubborn stuff boar glue! Poor Rupert (left on my avatar) would always end up with it stuck on his face and impossible to get off! Normally the end of his nose! Think Jess wiped it back on him cuz she didn’t approve! XD
 
It really is, we have been lucky in the past and caught it when it was wet, poor thing though having it on his lip!
