Hi everyone,
I have read the recommended link for cleaning the grease glands on my boars, and think Freckles needs cleaning as it looks like he has a fat smudge of earwax looking stuff on his grease gland area thats increased since I got him so I am sure he needs this cleaned up.
His skin colour below looks normal, so I think a good clean is in order
Didn't want to give him a full bath as his fur and ears are lovely and clean and so wondered what the best way of cleaning this would be - and whether there are ingredients I can easily buy in my weekly shop that will do the job?
Raiding the kids medical cupboard I already have a nit comb, and in there is also olive oil and Re-gen oil. Just wondered if these are any use for piggies and should I just be trying to remove all the grease or while that encourage the gland to produce even more?
And also (sorry for all the questions!) Spud has just a tiny blob of grease on his, nice and neat - should that be knocked off and cleaned or left alone ..again, his fur and skin is all lovely so no need to stick him in a bath either?
