Hi so I was looking at my piggies ears and I noticed some sort of sticky substance in her ear so I tried to get a photo, I also noticed some slight crusting in her ear. She seems happy in herself, eating normal and popcorning. Should I be concerned?

Hi!

I would see a vet to have a check whether it is a build up of wax, fungal or ear mites and to treat accordingly. You can do it during regular opening hours. Please don't treat on spec as you can inadvertedly make things worse.
