Welcome to our friendly forum! I would take your piggy to see the vet just to be on the safe side. If I spot the smallest thing out of the ordinary I take mine straight to the vet. Dennis had a small patch on his nose where his fur wasn't as thick as it had been. My son told me it was fine and I was being silly by taking Dennis to the vet. It turned out Dennis had mites! A vet would rather you took a piggy in and there be nothing wrong than to let them suffer.
