If you wish, you can rub a little triple antibiotic on it. Honestly though, IME, on an otherwise healthy animal, you can generally just leave it alone and it will take care of itself.

ETA: I would however look around their area to see what he got himself "hung up on" that caused the flesh tear. Maybe an exposed nail head, or sharp board edge...

Thank you. I will be looking around for anything that may have caused it. I would have put triple antibiotic on it last night. But since it’s been freezing cold I’ve brought everything liquid, gel, or spray home so it wouldn’t freeze or explode out there. I need to start hauling a few things back and forth when I go out there.

This little red boar knows exactly where to find his food. I doubt he’s going to miss very many meals. Here’s a few pictures of our three surviving piglets.

When she's old enough to get bred, if you keep her that long, you can change it to Floozie............:lol:
Funny girl!
The runt, little black boy is Peanut.
The red one is Hamlet.
The little girl, I’m going to name her Gidget.

My hubby just got home from working on the farm. He had an accident on the farmbefore he came home. He’s been building an outdoor area for out 6-7 week old piglets so they can go outside and play. His post hole driver somehow fell on his head. He already has a bad neck and spine due to his time in the military. This is sending shocks down his neck and back. I worry about him. He gets so busy and all consumed into what he’s doing almost everyday. One of these times he’s going to be hauled off the farm on a gurney headed for the hospital.
