So hubby was cleaning out his boys cages and had to seperate them a long time ago due to fighting. We thought that Cazum was the fighter, and had him in his own cage. But for cleaning hubby put the three piggies back together in a holding cage to see what would happen. We noticed that Cazum and Borris actually get along well, but Razorback wasn't letting anyone near him. He'd kick the others in the head, or nudge them, etc. I thought it was odd behavior and suggested he check them over.
We noticed that Razorback had some shavings stuck "down under" with some thick white discharge, and his nipples were scabby. So we put him in the single cage instead, on a towel. When cleaning him out again today hubby did another check and the discharge he described as "the green dusty bits of hay all clumped together," like a greenish discharge or something.
What can we do?

It can be common for boars to get bits of hay and shavings stuck in their boy bits with a white discharge. Gently pull out what you can. If it's green from the hay I wouldn't worry too much, but if it's green from infection then I would take a trip to the vet. As for the scabby nipples, maybe your piggy has a fungal infection. Could you post some pictures?
