View attachment 52152 View attachment 52153 Hello all, just curious if anyone else has seen this before. My boy Albi has a spot of hair missing behind his ear, but it is not right up to the ear and only on one side, which leads me to think it is not simply the natural bare patch all pigs have. It might be my other pig Theo picking on him because I noticed today Theo had a cut/scrape on his nose. I've been watching them for a few hours and both have not scratched, so I don't suspect lice. Just wondering if anyone out there could take a guess as I have reached a dead end with my research!

Sorry the picture doesn't help much to see where his ears are, black animals are sort of difficult to photograph!
 
Hi and welcome!

Please have your boy checked by a vet whether it could be mange mites of fungal. I've had either in a similar spot. They need different treatment.

We have got a recommended UK vet locator on the top bar.
