Hi
I just got a new 3 month old female rex pig and have just found a bald spot on her rump. It is about the size of a penny and was well hidden under her long hair. The skin is smooth in the middle and rough and flaky round the edge where there is still fur.
She is otherwise in good health and eating and drinking well. She is not scratching the area at the moment.
I have given her a shampoo in some Gorgous Guinea shampoo lice and easy and have been rubbing mankna and neem oil soak in to the area. This seems to be helping. There are less scabby bits and flakes and the bold patch looks calmer although cant see any hair growing back yet but it has only been 3 days.
Dont want to use ivomec unless i have to so will keep going with the soak for a bit and see if there is an improvement. Anyone suggest anything else i can do? I have also emailed Gorgeous Guineas for some advice.
