Why is it that piggies sometimes have a little scab between their upper lip..if you know what i mean. Is it acidic food like apples? My Brandy has developed one and it's only because i've been giving her quite a bit of apple recently. Ive stopped now so will it heal? What else could it be? :-\
 
Try leaving out the apple for a while and see if that helps, in mild cases it will :) In future feed apple cut into small chunks.
 
Daftscotslass, thanks for that link. That's what my Riffy has. What antibacterial cream would you suggest? Thanks.
 
Anyway, I cut back on the apple and chopped it into small chunks. The scab has gone so all is good! Thanks for the advice! O0 O0 O0
