Hey Everyone I was wondering if I could have some advice.
So i noticed about a week ago that my piggy has bald patches on her legs. Today I was giving her a weekly check and realised that she also has a bald patch goes across a line from her chest to her belly. I have touched the bald areas and she seems to have no sign of discomfort when I touch them. I do hear her itching sometimes and I have noticed that when she comes out to eat she itches as if there is discomfort in her mouth slash nose areas for it is more like she is turning her head away as if something was uncomfortable there. It has seemed to have slowed more recently but I decided to ask once I saw her belly. She is a 6 year old piggy who lives alone as her 2 room mates died. One more recently. She has half eaten a strawberry in my lap right now and she has just been ‘itching her face’ but I realised that she was actually more grooming her paws where there are bald patches. It is all her paws and slightly above. I just would like to know if I should take her to the vet or not for I hate seeing my little piggy in discomfort or is this just over grooming and if so, how can I prevent this? Bear in mind that I have made her DIY hay toys such as the hay ball wit toilet paper strips, hay in a toilet roll and a sock hay dispenser. I also make her hideys from cardboard boxes. Please give me any advice as long as you know 100% of what you are advising. Thank you
PS. this has come before when she was younger and then it eventually went away but I want to make sure that if there is a quicker way we can get rid of this and that she is also eating and drinking her hay, pellets and fruits and veggies.
