I was just giving final health check, weigh-in & nail clipping before Ellie & Aldous were to go to their new forever home this afternoon. When checking Ellie I noticed a slight scabbing around where her foot meets her leg & also a white covering on her ear. They seem like a possible fungol so I may have to put off their adoption while I get it investigated. Any ideas what this can be.
I'll be taking them both to the vet tomorrow. Ellie's history is she cam here over 2 months ago aged 5 months with her mother who was 9 months. It soon became apparent that they were both pregnant but Ellie had one 145g baby who was eith still born or died shortly after birth 5 weeks ago exactly. She' lived with her mother since birth & has been with her mother & her 3 younger sisters 8 days ago. Her mother had been nipping at her so she was bonded with Aldous & they have been togethe happily for the last 8 days.
I've checked Aldous & he is all OK. I've also just checked all the other 19 piggies including Ellie's mother & 3 sisters & no sign of this on any of them. She also over the last week or so has had a hard dried white deposit in bottom corner of her right eye like what we'd call sleep on a human. It's been there 3 times in last 10 days
I've added some pictures. Any help would be greatfully appreciated x
