Hey guys, wishing you all a Merry Christmas! 🎅 One of our fluffballs has a small brown spot on his chin/lip area I've attached a photo, has anyone else seen anything like this? It doesn't appear to be infected but I also don't suspect it to be boar glue? Thanks in advance :) PXL_20201225_182849188.webp
 
I think it's attached, I didn't want to pull too hard on it in case it made it worse. The more I look at it, the more I think it's a scab, he doesn't seem phased by it at all but piggies never seem to show any weakness.

Hi!

It may be some 'boar glue' stuck to his fur. Please wait for it to fall off since dried semen fluid has got its name for a very good reason.
