I have had problems with my boy
First started when he lost his friend they both were bitten by a wasp in my back yard and one of them died my big boy survived. But now he is losing weight and now ripping his hair out and itching and scratching all day
Please help I'm very worried :(
 
All I can suggest is a vet visit as it sounds as though your piggy is having a bad reaction. He may well have parasites too which will need treatment.

If he is still eating, drinking and pooping ok then his weightloss could be down to the extra energy he is using to scratch and not spending enough time eating because he is in so much discomfort.

Hi yes he is still eating and drinking seems happy to run around and play but some days he seems sad and that's when he scratches a lot :(
 
As he is losing weight and has hairloss he will need treatment - please take him to the vet as soon as you can so that he does not continue to suffer any longer.
