Hello all!  Thank you all VERY MUCH for your concern for Cinnamon.  I took her & Butterscotch to the vet today.  Cinnamon had skin scraping performed and she does have mites.  

The vet, who is a piggy lover & former slave herself, highly encouraged increasing Cinnamon and Butterscotch's daily vitamin C intake.  Apparently, not having enough vitamin C on a daily basis makes them more prone to skin conditions.  

Additionally, both Cinnamon & Butterscotch were given a dose of Ivermectin and will return in 2 weeks for an additional dose.  In the meantime, I'll be cleaning every-thing that they come into contact with...including them!

I feel terrible thinking that Cinnamon has had this and I didn't know!  Further, that I didn't have her treated!  She's always had "dry skin" and has itched herself far more than her sister has.  Hopefully the medication, increase in vitamin C, baths and extra cleaning will take care of the problem!

Thank you again for all of the information you gave me and for your concern!

Tina, 

Cinnamon & Butterscotch
