wounds

I've posted before about my two boars fighting, and everyday I clean there wounds with salty water. Today when I was feeding Sausage and giving him cuddles, I noticed a scab had fallen off. It is a really big hole, and looks deep too. It looks infected:

So I cleaned it with more salty water and it started to bleed:

Should I take him to the vet tomorrow?
thanks Jenn x

I would take him to the vet - looks like a little abcess to me so may need some antibiotics and probiotics.

A little abscess too if it's pretty deep.

Good luck at the vets!

Untill you get to the vet you should use some antibiotic ointment. When my pig had her ear ripped in half the nurse told me to put antibiotic ointment on it 'till i could take her in to the vet.
