I'm really worried about rosie and i will be taking her to a vet on tuesday (its bank holiday here on monday)
Ages ago when she was outside with her mother ( who was killed by a cat) i noticed her fur looking a bit shabby but thought it was after the stress she experienced when a cat got into her run and killed her mum, she escaped, she was only about 3 mths old.... then she was a happy pig when i got the other three for her tp play with and her fur was fine.
I noticed when she was preg that her fur around her saddle area was thinning but thought after reading that it was pregnancy or maybe barbering.
Now her skin is looking worse, no crusts the hair is thin and she has another baldy spot near her rump in a little circle.
I'm stressing about this so much today. She does scratch but not excessivly.
She still has her 4 babies and she was running with the other sows before she gave birth and they are all fine.
Any thoughts?? I am terrified she has mites, wjere would she have caught them? what is the treatment, can i do anthing herbal?
Thanks pig family x
