Skin Issue

[Merrypigs Sanctuary]

So guys, what do you think? The skin underneath is clean and there's no sounds of scabbing or itching. Both girls are 2 years old - they also have a 6/7 year old 'sister' who isn't balding. Do you think it could be hormonal? I've given them all ivermectin just in case

I would recommend to have your girls checked for ovarian cysts. Two years is a typical age for them to develop. It is usually the small active cysts that are causing the visible signs. Large cysts often don't and not all of them are hormonal.

Fab, thanks Wiebke! They're lovely girls and were very much loved and looked after, but sadly their owner was moving house with her family!
