Funny white patch in piggies nose

[123rd]

Hi. We have two boys , healthy apart from one Of them has a weird white patch on the top of his nose. Looks like he has scrapped it or has a bit of paper stuck on it. It's not red at all but they do have a tendency to sniff each others behinds. , so I'm worried that it may get infected. Any ideas what it could be?

Does it look dry and flaky? I've just been googling but with not much success. Could be mites or a fungal thing. I would take him off to the vets for a check up. He could have just had a row with his cage mate but I would get it checked to make sure.

Thanks. I know sometimes "funny things" come and go it has only been there since Sunday and hast spread. If its still there fri. - my day off work I shall take it.

Could be fungally
Could be bacterial
Could be dried on boar-glue (though GP1 gets boarglue on him and it's more waxy (TMI). DD picked some off his snout and it left a bald patch )

Ouch! Took piggie to vets. 2 mins on the table and £31 later to be told yeah, possibly a little nip from his brother that's infected. £31!!! That's twice what he cost !!!

At least he's okay - poor little thing.
