Weight and Matted Fur

[Pearl and Zip]

Zip, a piggy almost 5 years old, has lost 17 grams in one day. Is this okay?

Pearl has matted fur on her bottom. It is brown. What should I do? She is also a senior piggy.

It’s 32 degrees Celsius or 90 degrees Fahrenheit where I live, and any suggestions on cooling the pigs down would be helpful.

@Pearl and Zip 17g in a day is fine. Just keep an eye on it for consistend decreases.

She's either peed in herself or has pooped on her hair. Can you wash it off or trim the hair?

32 degrees is far too hot. Where are the pigs kept? There's a sticky post on the forum about ways to cool the room down.

An air con unit would be perfect

They are inside. We finally got the AC working!

I’ll try to trim the hair or clean it. The matted fur image may be hard to see.
