My 10 week old boar has a hard white spot on outside of his ear. He's totally fine in himself. What is this spot.? Any help appreciated.
 
It sounds like it could be fungal which will definitely require a vet trip for diagnoses and treatment.

For the time being it’s worth practising religious hygiene as it’s something other pigs/animals can get too if it is fungal.

Hope the vets goes okay! :)
 
Hi Welcome to our friendly forum
I agree with the others best to get him checked.
I always take my to the vet when I get a new piggy
 
One our elderly girls has something simillar, it turned out to be a cyst when we took her to the vet.
 
Thanks for everyone's help. I took both the pigs to the vet after being advised to bring the ones with the spot's cage mate. It ended up being a pimple (thankfully) the vet got rid of it and gave them both a health check. It turns out newt (the one with the spot) produces a lot of grease from his gland near his bottom. I have to clean it every so often. The pimple however seems like It's coming back. Like there's more to get out. I've tried squeezing It but newt pulls away and have a small squeak. Any ideas how to do this for him?
Thanks everyone. X
