Piggies lips

[Mia12345]

Hello, can anybody give me advice.
My piggie has got something on her mouth, it was smaller one week ago and today I noticed that my another one has it too.

I have had a few piggies in the past, but never had this problem before with any of them.

They normally spend the whole day out in the garden.
she eats normally and also playing.

Thanks xx

You will need to see a vet for diagnosis and treatment. We cannot tell you what it actually is as we aren’t vets and all medical conditions needs a hands on vet check but I wonder if it might be cheilitis

Hi!

Please have your piggy seen for potential cheilitis. Treatment depends on what kind of bug your vet thinks may have got into the tiny skin cracks and caused it.

I would recommend to stop feeding tomato and any other fruit to piggies that have a sensitivity to the acid in these food items.
