Dry skin?

[ricear]

Hi! I wasn’t sure what thread to put this in. My piggie, Al, seems to have some minor dry skin? Does anyone know why? Or what I can do? His appetite is just fine and he isn’t losing weight or anything.

Hi!

Can you please post a picture?

'Dry skin' can cover anything from a single skin flake to skin parasites or a fungal skin infection in member posts... We need a little more information in order to be able to give you any advice at all.

I can try! He’s my wiggly-est piggie out of all of them. Best way to describe it is very very mild dandruff

It just looks like mild dandruff to me

That’s what I was thinking, but I tend to be paranoid since we just got our other piggie healed from a URI and then Bumblefoot

I’d just keep a close eye out but I really wouldn’t worry

If she is not missing any fur don't worry. It is not likely to be a skin disease.
