Hey I have just noticed McMac has what looks like freckles all over his body. They just look like brown dots like we would have freckles. I doesnt seem to have them under his fur area but he has a couple of dots on his bottom eyelid and on the back of his ears and the bottom of his feet. What could this be? He just recently lost his friend. Could it be his body feeling a bit low or what?
 
What colour is McMac's skin/hair everywhere else (apart from the 'freckly' bits)? Is he one of the piggies in your avatar?
 
Hey there um his normal skin colour is just a peachy white kinda colour and his fur is what you call Lilac (I think :S) He is the piggy in the backround of the picture. Ive noticed he has some under his skin but its more prominent in bare skin areas. Like nose, eyes, ears and feet. Hes even got a dot on his bum lol. I was wondering what it was, I had a good look and the marks are actually in the skin and its not lice or anything in the fur. It looks like the kind of brown spots elderly people would get :S
 
I have an elderly sow (just over 6 years old). She is black so has black skin etc. As she has aged she has started to get freckles of lighter coloured skin on her lips, behind her ears and on her feet. She is also going a bit grey too (although I can relate to that!) :)) I think it makes her look sophisticated! xoxo
