Any Clue What This Is?

[Jeniva]

One of my rescue girls I noticed has a little scab/mole/thing on her. It's raised and kind of hardish but not solid, can be moved a little, but it isn't super squishy.
She has black skin on her nose/mouth etc.

Could it be a tick?

I don't think it's a tick. they're more greyish and squishy. this feels slightly scabby but I'm not 100% convinced its a scab

Sorry l have no idea, best get your vet to have a look, it doesn't appear too sinister though?

A skin tag maybe?

Funny I thought that.
Caused by letting her run free up the woods. Jeniva have you been taking her walkies.

could be a skin tag. I've not had her long so I probably wouldn't have noticed it if she already had it when she came here. probably best to see a vet to make sure it's not anything cancerous? I have no idea if it's sinister. but she's a happy, obese, lively piggie.

would get it checked out to be on the safe side looks like a skin tag but a vet will be able to tell you for sure that it is nothing to be concerned about and God forbid it is something you have found it very early.

ok I'll ring the vets tomorrow. Hopefully can get an appointment for Saturday. Feel like I live at the vets these days!

With the others. Best let the vet check it over and reassure you.

I am not an expert, but it really looks like a tick to me.
And they do appear in the most unlikely places.
Do you have a magnifying glass you could use to get a really close up look at the part attached to your pig?

Looks like a tic to me too.Please be careful if you remove it yourself that you don't leave the head in.
