Hi everyone.
I haven't posted for a while, but I could really do with your help and advice.
We noticed last night that our two year old boar had a really swollen nipple and although it wasn't tender, we were concerned so took him to the vet tonight. The vet squeezed his nipple and although he didn't seem in any obvious pain, loads of brown liquid came out. She also said that the other nipple is swollen although it isn't as bad. She said that it doesn't seem infected and it isn't a tumour. She said that it may be something to do with his hormone levels and to vut down on fresh food and give him antibiotics for a week. We are now home and there is a little bit of blood on his fur and on his nipple which may be due to the squeezing. She said to give it a week, but she didn't think that there would be anything else they could suggest as she hasn't heard of this sort of thing in a male before. She also checked a book and the internet.
Could someone please put my mind at rest as I am worried.
Thanks
