Hello,
My three-year-old sow is waving her head away from fresh food whenever I hold it out, though she will finally eat it after about 25 seconds of head waving. Has anyone encountered this before? Her cage partner the same age is fine and neither have lost weight.

Hi! Please have her vet checked in case she has an irritation in her ears (ear mites or wax) which is more noticeable as soon as she trying to open her jaw and put pressure on the ears.

Do NOT pour anything down the ears on spec; you can do more harm than good and make things worse.

Thanks- will do, stupid question, is it infectious?
 
Is there anything I could do in the meantime while I wait for the appointment?
 
Check her ear whether u see any crust in her ear and please immediately take her to vet
 
Sorry this is so late; we went to the vets and were given ear cleaner and ear drops and they are good as new:clap::D
