Scab underneath lips?

[Smartypiggies]

My piggy has something stuck underneath his lower lip and I'm not sure whether it's food or a scab. I have tried removing it myself with a wet cloth but the fur around the edges still seems to be stuck to the mysterious object. Any ideas on what it might be? Thanks!

It's quite difficult to make out from the photos.. If it doesn't go away soon and you're still in doubt/worried then best get her checked.

Hi!

Unfortunately the crucial part doesn't show when you enlarge the pictures. But it looks that is rather stuck to the fur and not to the lips. In boars this is most likely dried semen fluid, better known under its very descriptive vernacular name 'boar glue'. boars do masturbate. You have to wait until it is coming off on its own.

Thanks for your help! It came off some time ago.
