Hi,
When I pick up Peaches this morning I notice hair loss on her belly. On closer examination she had lots of flacky skin too. I call this scruf and have seen it in small patches on Teddys before, but nothing like this! It is all over her belly and other parts as well.
I gave her and Pumpkin ivermectin treatments last month so I don't think it is mites. I plan to give her a dandruff shampoo bath today. Problem is we are going on a weeks vacation on Saturday and can't take her with us. I have a pig sitter but don't want her to bathe Peaches.
Any suggestions? She saw the vet a few months ago and all was fine. Should I try the shampoo until we go away and see how she is when we get back? Should I take her to the vet right away? She isn't scratching. Our house is air conditioned so it isn't from heat. I have never had a piggie with so much scruff before.
I hope she didn't pick up some exotic disease during her travels with Manny and Captain Jack!
Thanks,
Dee
