Hi there!
So I have a skinny piglet thats about 10 months old. Over the past month i've noticed his right ear is ticklish or irritating him when you touch his outer ear. When I rub the same ear, he squeeks or yelps. I've examined in his ear and it is clear, no wax, no smell, no discharge. The ear is not inflammed, or reddend, and he is acting normal otherwise. I have tried natural teatree oil in case it is a build up deeper in the ear, but it has not subsided.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this and if they have any suggestions before I bring him to see a vet? His left ear is not bothering him, and his brother has no problems. It just sort of happened over night and i've been keeping an eye on it.
