Hello! I’ve noticed that piggy Akira has some kind of crust below her nose. She usually sneezes maybe once every few days. I took pictures with flash because that’s the only way I can show the crust. Don’t worry, I wasn’t grabbing her head - it kind of looks that way. I have visited the vet once & asked about the crust piggies get around the eyes. The vet said that it’s normal -due to dust and other particles - & they can just be cleaned off. What could it be? Should I take her to the vet or should I treat it with something else ?5D758FB3-9B3D-4EC8-9078-95C0DDE1D83C.png

Hi! Please take a deep breath! If there is nothing else, then it is just a dried sneeze from a little hay dust stuck in the nose. ;)
