My gpig Belle has lately (i'd say past couple of months) been sitting in her urine such that her bottom is often wet and she is starting to smell (obviously!).
She is approx just over 3yrs, is a rescue pig we have had for 2 yrs. She lives outside with a neutered boar of a similar age but this is a relatively new problem.
It's obviously not nice for her or us and we are constantly having to bathe her. They are regularly cleaned, their diet has not changed and there have been no other obvious changes. Her behaviour, eating habits etc have not changed and she is as happy as she ever is !
She is such a beautiful girl and i really need to get to the bottom (no pun!) of this. Does anyone have any idea what this might be or why it might have just started now? I just wonder if anyone has experienced this and whether they could advise if its more behavioural or physical?
Thanks in advance
