I've just noticed Trek has blood on his fleecy bed. I've taken him out for a cuddle and checked him over.He has a 'graze' the size of a lentil on his right side adjacent to his genitls. It looks red but not bleeding now, bright red in colour though. Has any idea what this could be? Could it be Puddles biting his bottom area?
 
Sorry I don't know - I just wanted to say poor pig :'( and hope he gets better soon!
 
one of mine had a tiny graze/cut on his upper lip, but it was scabbed over and it's been a couple months he's fine now
try disinfecting it (not sure what with) but if he seems strange then take him to the vet incase of infection
do you think you know what could've scratched him
 
if you could buy any hibiscrub its a great item to have for emergencys and cleaning wounds for now just clean the wound and keep an eye on it for infection, hibiscrub would have helped to stop any infection setting in so would highly recomend you all buying this ,the vets use it as do hospitals and dentists Boots do sell it smaller ones might need to order it in
 
It does sound like he has been nipped to have a wound in that area.

Keep it clean and dry and at any sign of redness, swelling etc he'll have to go to the vet for antibiotics.

Also please keep a very close eye on them now incase they start to fight - any more bloodshed and you will have to split them up as boars can do terrible damage to each other.
 
Here's a thought. Could it be that I put them both into neutral territory (I put them both in their new hutch outside for the first time yesterday) and Puddles has thought aha! here's my chance! I brought them both back in last night and after seeing that sore I have been watching them closely.

They're back in garden hutch this morning and have been watching all day, no aparent problems, Trek is sitting on his bed and Puddles is sleeping under his (as per normal).

They're at the vet on Tuesday for their final mite jab so i'll ask him then to have a look.
