One of my six boars has the worst grease gland issue I have ever encountered! I have literally had to trim hair off it because I was so fearful he would end up with flystrike after the hot days we've been having. Coconut oil doesn't seem to work on such a large area. His whole bum ends up greasy, not just his grease gland area. Bum baths seem to make it stickier! Any idea what I can do for him? His hair breaks off when I gently brush in the worst section. He is in no way uncared for, I monitor his grease gland constantly and although grooming and bum baths and the coconut oil is keeping the issue at bay I'm wondering if there's a long term solution? He looks like he has mites after his trim bless him the poor boy.
