Cuddles has lost some fur during her pregnancy and nursing.

Mainly off her bottom area but also on her tummy. Is there anything I can do about it? Will the fur grow back eventually?
 
The fur should grow back once all the nutrients that have gone to the babies during the weeks of pregnancy and nursing are going towards her own body again and her hormones stabilise again.

Make sure that she gets a good diet with fresh herbs and plenty of good quality hay.

Basically - lots of tlc... (which she is getting anyway!)
 
Yup, as Wiebke said, its just her hormones are unbalanced from the pregnancy and birth. Its a very common thing to occur in sows who have just given birth.

Her hair will grow back but she just needs some time to recover.
