Crusty Nipple

Personally I would clean it off and watch over the next few days to see if it reappears and how quickly. Has anything changed with her weight etc? The only time I have seen crusting round the nipple is with ovarian cysts. Not all ovarian cysts will have a big impact on the piggy or their behaviour but if you notice her losing weight, becoming more aggressive or seemingly in pain then she will definitely need a vet

She isn’t losing weight. She’s only aggressive when she steals food lol! Zip is always happy and doesn’t seem to be in any pain. I will clean it off during floortime today. Thanks!

I've had a piggy with ovarian cysts who because of age and other health problems I wouldn't contemplate surgery. All she ever got was the crusty nipples
