pelletts and fresh veggies..She is concerned about the fact that he seems to
have a collections of "pellet like feces in a small sac near his rectum.  Is this
normal???I know nothing!!!

Answer
Hi Flora

It sounds like the pig is suffering from a condition called anal impaction. Basically, your neighbour, with the vets help if neccesary, needs to remove the poop as this is the soft pellets that the pig eats to gain nutrients.

Take a look at the link below.
