Hey All,
just looking for some advice about Peeps.
She is a 4+1/2-year-old pig, who has previously had no health issues. she lives with her 2 sisters and I haven't noticed anything on them out of the usual.
i have found his on her nose recently, she seems fine otherwise, hasn't lost weight, still eats a lot, still hates grooming, nothings changed except the nose.
just wondering if anyone may know what it is?

thank you heaps in advance :)

I'd get a vet to check it out... Looks like a fungal nose strip to me, but that would need to be confirmed by a vet to ensure the correct treatment is used.
They're quite common 😊
 
Also betting on fungal nose stripe, which tends to kind of come and go on its own. One of my past pigs had it for a couple of years despite antifungal treatment, then disappeared for the rest of her life!
