Hello,
My rex, Petal, has very dry skin and always has done since I got her. She was treated for lice (her and my other pig Polly had static lice) with shampoos. Her skin still remains very dry. She also has waxy ears and I have noticed that she has dry skin on her feet - on her 'heel'. I don't know whether that is "bumblefoot" but she has soft flooring and I read that bumblefoot comes from standing on mesh flooring.
She seems happy in herself. I'm just a little concerned about the new foot thing. Will be taking her to the vets I think...
