Nipples and Bellybuttons =O)

[TurboPiggy]

Scooter is 5 weeks old. We got him one week ago. Since the first day we got him, I noticed a little scab on his belly and believed that it was left over cord. Well today I was doing my daily exam, and picked at it a little...it was loose. When it came off, there was what appears to me as a nipple. Could this actually be the bellybutton? One of his true nipples is very apparent with hair growing out around it. The second one I had to search for it seems to be in the fold of his left rear leg and it darker in appearance. It is well hidden by hair too. Nothing appears to be infected or sore. Im all alone today, or I'd post a pic. Kind of hard to do while holding a piggy on it's back.

He was a little more cooperative than I had expected him to be. So this first picture is of all 3 that I am talking about. The second is a closer look at his "bellybutton". Does this look normal? Thanks

Doesn't much look like a nipple to me, but I can't be sure.

I would say that it looks like a belly button, but I don't know.

Looks strange to me too. It's definitely not in the right place for a nipple and none of the pups I weaned recently had a belly button like that. I'd keep an eye on it.

I would say belly button. This is an extra nipple:



You can see the belly button too.

So I guess he's got an "outie" then...
