Hello,
Yesterday I came home to find my little piggy with a fat lip! I am keeping an eye on it but then this morning it isn't swollen but instead bruised? What could it be? Could is be to do with the teeth? Thanks

Ouch! that looks sore! :(

Please keep an eye on it and see a vet if necessary. Check the teeth and also keep an eye out for potential lip infection (cheilitis) to develop, if there are any crusts coming up.

OK thanks I will keep an eye on him, if it develops more I'll take him to the vets.
