Hello, i just went outside to check on luna and oreo and luna seems to have a scab looking thing on her upper lip. I will send photos when i can, but i was wondering what it could be?
 
Only a vet can properly diagnose anything and of course we are only guessing but if it isn’t a piece of food stuck to the lip of a scratch, then another possibility is cheilitis (a lip infection requiring antibiotic treatment).
 
I’d book a vet appointment who will be able to diagnose and treat. It’s good that she’s still eating and drinking
update, i have googled cheilitis and it looks a lit more extreme on images than what luna has. Could it be the start?
 
Hi, so I booked an appointment at the vets but luna's lip healed before that so thankfully it was just a small injury from where she was being a clumsy piggy. Forgot to update you but better late than never x

Thank you for the update. Glad that it was nothing serious!
