Flash has lost strips of hair on her back

[Wilwong]

Hi

Not sure wether it could be mites or ovarian cyst.. but one of my piggies seems to be suffering a big patch of hair loss recently, she always had a small bald patch but these few weeks have increased in size.

I have 2, Flash and Amiee.. Flash had a health check and Amiee had eye poke treatment .. flash was all healthy ... this was done couple of months ago.

Flash is happy, weighs over 1.1kg and eats and poops well, Aimee seems to have no loss of hair ..

pictures of flash‘s hair loss attached ...

any advice greatly appreciate, of course we will be booking a vet for further check ups ...

Please have her seen for mange mites; this is a characteristic hair loss pattern for it. You will have to treat both piggies for them.
