Hi all,

Just noticed this when doing health checks. I know the pictures aren’t the best but any rough ideas? It does look like there’s been a bit of a scruff amongst the heard

I’m afraid I can’t see anything. Is there a wound or tear, or is it healed over? I’d say if you’re worried then have piggy seen by the vet.
 
Hi
Unfortunately, I can't see anything. Please see a vet during regular opening times if whatever extremely mild that you are seeing is getting worse.
 
I can see what looks to be a little chunk taken out of the ear on the third picture. Is that what you mean?

Hi yes. Sorry if the pictures are blurry. She’s booked in the vets this afternoon

It looks like a bit has been taken out, maybe where she’s had a tiff with one of the others. She’s booked in this afternoon for a check up
 
What did the vet say? Was it an old injury or recent and still raw?

The vet confirmed a bit of her ear was taken off, probably where she's had a tiff with someone in the group. Thankfully she's completely fine and it hasn't bothered her
