Hi, I have a boar and I need to clean his bottom quite alot do you have any advice what to clean it with?

do you mean poops or his grease gland? if its grease gland, i use swarfega x

I too use swarfega for grease glands. Rub a small amount into his grease gland, wait a few mins (it breaks the grease down), then wash with shampoo & rinse with warm water.

If you mean his actual bottom i clean with a baby wipe. If he's impacted he will need his anal sac cleaning out. Have a look here http://www.susieandpigs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/healthprobs.htm
