Hello everyone. My girl Penelope is suddenly losing hair on top of her head and a bit behind her head as well. It's practically a bald spot on her head. She isn't itching at all though so I don't think it's mites? : ( Her skin is also nice from what I can see..

She stays with my 2 other girls and I wonder if they'd be barbering her that much?

where there is hair loss just check for scabs in case it is mites. just separate her from the other pigs for a couple of weeks and see if she is loosing anymore fur. if shes not, the other pigs must be pulling out her fur. if she is loosing fur away from the other pigs go see a vet
