My piggie Pumpkin has a bald patch on her back. I'm not sure what it is, but she has had one before. I wiped the area with the wipes my vet gave us last visit for her when she had a bald patch, and treated I both her and her sister with anti-parasite spot on. (Her sister doesn't have a bald patch but I thought I should give her some just in case.) Anyone know what it is? Could it be mites?

We can’t tell you what it is. Please have them both checked by a vet. We don’t recommend home treating as it can mask or make worse the problem. And non-prescription meds aren’t often strong enough.
