Our G P ´Star´ has in jus the last 2 weeks developed a white crust on the edge of her ears with breaks showing. Around her eyes she has also developed the same white crust. She has not other signs of illness or itching. She is just as active as usual. FYI, we are going from fall to colder weather here. Any ideas?

My guess would be fungus. I know of a pig who had it, but no clue on the remedy. Perhaps do a search on fungus until someone way more knowledgeable than me shows up. My friend´s pig got it from being in the lawn. I remember it took awhile to clear up.

I think it would be worth a trip to the vet. Especially if this is developing around the eyes. It is possible she might even lose the edges of her ears if it goes untreated.
