Hi! I was wondering what treatments I could give to my piggy who seems to be constantly itching at her back and just always to seem itching? Its only on the middle of her back where she's itchy and where the flakyness is, she doesn't like me touching there either. The skin is flaky. Could it be mites or fungal disease? I just hate seeing her constantly itchy, I bet its super annoying for her and I just want her to be the most comfortable she can be!

Please have your piggy seen by a vet and do not attempt any home treatment or pet shop products.
We do not advocate any home treatments as you don’t know what condition you are dealing with and could inadvertently cause more harm by doing so.
Your piggy needs to be diagnosed by a vet and prescribed the correct treatment.

Given the location and your description it sounds like she may have some form of parasites.
The good news is that this can be easily treated, but does need a proper diagnosis and prescription meds.
