New Born Pup
Hi Everyone this is my 1st post. I currently have an 8mth old piggy named Oreo. Today at work I got a piggy released into our care. Let's just say, I'm super happy the gentleman brought him in bc he does not deserve to own one! Well, after I let him calm down I reached and and what the sweetest piggy ever! While I was holding him, i noticed his "raptor: claws (don't worry i cut them back) but he was losing quite a bit of hair and I was getting covered in with white and black flakes (more black). The hair i figure is bc they was nothing but the cage for this poor piggy to rub on. He was on Cedar bedding, and had "cheap" food, no hay. I tried to brush but he was just getting way to excited and wanted him to calm down and I will do it some tmw. My question is, he is covered in some kind of dirt/flaky stuff. It's bad, but bc he is solid black with coarse "crazy" hair I can't make out if it is in his hair or on his body. He doesn't itch, but then i got thinking if this is his normal then maybe he is use to it. He is such a sweetheart and I am trying to find a way to bring him home. (Oreo is a male also, and I just want friends not enemies nor to bring home any piggy colds) What should I do about this "flaky coverage"? Should I just give him a quick bath? If so what can I use on him that will not hurt him but get whatever it is off with out a drag out bath time. I don't want to stress him out. Thanks for any information and if you need more I can try to answer, the guy didn't say much but he didn't want it anymore.
