That is not salt secretion from his lower lip.

Salt (snalt) is only passed through it's nostrils.



Looks like caked on food sometimes caused

by chewing on wet or mushy food.



What have you been feeding it?



I would take more aggressive measures than a

damp q-tip. The caked on food (if that's what

it is) will only cause more complications in the

long run. The fact that the lip surface is covered

by it will only causes heat as well as lack of air

to the area in question, thus ... making this area

a good candidate for a bacterial breeding bed.



By "more aggressive measures" I mean an old

tooth brush moistened in a betadine/water solution

at about the color of a light tea. Try to do this at

least once daily followed by a light smear of a

topical antibiotic cream like SSD or even some

triple antibiotic cream that you might use on your

self will do.
