[Gpdd] HEALTH: Barbering

[Dee and Joe]

Hi,

Re Princess, the pregnant pig barbering.

When my Tribbles was pregnant, the stress brought out a flare up of mites.
She was biting where they itched and bit down to the skin.  Being a newbie
at the time, I didn't know what the problem was, so I took her to the vet
after the babies were born.  She and the babies had to have Ivermectin shots
to get rid of the mites.  This might be the reason she is biting herself.

A few days from the first day of Spring and we are expecting 6-10'' of snow
here in Massachusetts tonight!
