Boris's back

[jojowelsh]

Boris had a little sore on his back so I put some cream on it and massaged it and a little clump came out. It looks clean where the clump came out and its not sore for him heres some pics. Theres no others on him

Any chance another pig could have nipped him there on his back? That sort of clump is usually tied in with fungal infections but localised hair loss with the flake of skin attached can occur following a skin injury such as a bite. Worth applying some aloe vera gel/ointment for a few days, or an anti-fungal cream.

Good to hear he's otherwise clear.

Wellllll him and Travis are living apart after a nasty fight so could be from that. What cream would work? I popped a tiny bit of bepantham on it but he seems ok and hasnt got any more sores x

Sounds like it's probably just a one-off as a result of the fight - naughty piggies!

Aloe Vera gel/ointment is ideal if you can get some as it has mild anti-fungal properties; I use it on most minor sores on my pigs and have used it on a mildly fungal patch before.

Bepanthen will do just fine if you are sure it's not fungal, although there is little point in applying cream only to soothe as the skin isn't sore now.

For a tougher anti-fungal cream, even though it sounds like it's probably not needed but will be handy to know anyway - Daktarin is the main one.

Yeah the skin underneath seems like when we gte sunburn and it peels its like pinky skin but its not sore its been dry for few days so just teased it off. Bless him hes got a little bald patch now x
