hello,
We have just adopted a baby boar but he has very dry skin in/around his ear. It’s definitely not a fungal infection but do any of you know what it is?

It’s difficult to tell from a photo. Piggies do have a bald patch behind their ears which is perfectly normal.
I discovered that when I took mine to the vet because I was worried about the bald patch.

However I would still recommend a vet trip if you have any concern.
It’s so much better to be reassured nothing is wrong than to miss a possible problem.

Let us know how things go
