Grease Gland Question...

[Daniel Morris]

Hello, I recently discovered the grease gland my piggy and was worried at first but started googling.
I have cleaned it with coconut oil and got the gunky bits off but was wondering whether it is meant to be covered in hair... there is a lump but I can't seem to break up the hairs around it... I was wondering whether this is okay.. it is cleaned but the hair is still stuck a little and there is a noticeable bump when you stroke him (Rick)

Hi

If in doubt and if you are worried, please see a vet. I hope that in good time you can get on top of it.
