Black in nose

[MistyWillow]

Have just noticed some kind of black thing in my albino pigs nose. Should I try and remove it ?

I just removed it what could it be ?

We have no idea what it is so we can’t say whether it would be safe to remove it or not. It’s always best to visit with something you are unsure of

My vet said to remove it if possible and causing no discomfort. I’m not sure what it is.

Unfortunately we can't either! It's likely something he may have inhaled (from hay or any loose bedding?) as it doesn't quite look like a tiny scab to me.

Not sure, it squished easily so now I’m quite concerned. The bedding is coloured right now so I’m not sure.

Has it come out easily or have you had to peel it out? Unfortunately without being able to touch it and examine your piggy, all we can do is guess as much as you do, and rather more so.

Came out quite easy, wasn’t attached to the skin. It’s more of a dark brown colour and squishy

Could be a bit of poop if its brown and squishy?

Nope. I’m sorry I haven’t a clue.
