My piggie has been diagnosed with a fungal infection.

She's now had 2 shampoos, 3 days apart, which the vet said I need to do for 2 weeks and then bathe her weekly for a month.

Vet said she'll go balder after shampoos which she has done, but her skin and fur are looking a lot better already.

Just wondering:
1. How long it will take before I stop seeing the flakes and hair coming out. Any ideas anyone?

2. Also she squeaks a bit when I touch her bald patch. Does that mean it is tender?

Thanks
