My male piggys rear end is hugely swollen

Do you have a picture of the swollen part? I would say get him to the vet as soon as you can. Is he eating and pooping?
 
Yes any swelling or something different to normal does need a vet check.
I'm afraid without any further information or a picture, then we are not able any further insight into it
 
Could this be compaction? We really need a photo of piggies bum
 
How old is the boar? where exactly are they swollen? Could it be his testicles or impaction as linked to above? Is there any other symptoms of illness or is it red? If there is any concern at all I would definitely get to a vet
 
Hope you can get a vet appointment and the problem dealt with.
Holding you in my thoughts.

He is 9 months old and he is eating and behaving normally. I noticed that yesterday his behind was larger. Also there is not enough poop in his pen like it should be. IMG_20210627_175040_4 (2).webp
 
Please take your piggy straight to the vet, certainly his penis does not look normal at all I would worry there is a blockage somewhere... is he able to pee normally?
 
:agr:
That looks quite enlarged, so I would have him seen by a vet as soon as possible.
Hopefully it is something that can be sorted out fairly easily as it sounds like you have noticed it right away.
 
I hope you can get him seen at the vets. Keep us posted. 🤞
