I agree with piggies and buns.your piggie may have paraphmosis,swelling of penis.also it could stop the blood supply to his penis.it is an emergency to see a vet as soon as possible.i hope you get to the bottom of this.
I would class that as an emergency needing a trio to the vets straight away. Please let us know what the vet says.
Hi!
Please have your piggy seen by a vet and have that penis checked in case there is a problem. Occasionally a hair winding around it can strangle the blood flow and a build-up of smegma or a sperm rod can also cause problems.
Have you been cleaning the grease gland and if yes, what with? Some products can dry out the skin.
The problems are definitely not related however.

I have only cleaned it in the bath, never with any product.
and my mom did find a piece of hay so maybe it poked it... my poor baby.

Please take a look at the boar care guide; you may find it very helpful!
Wwe recommed coconut oil for cleaning the grease ; it also should help with the dryness.
