Hello! I'm new to this forum but have been reading it for quite a while.
I've got an 8-months old female piggy, named Toffee, who the last 2 months seems to be a little pear-shape-y and I don't know why! I know for sure she is not pregnant, cause her roommate, Salty, is a female also and she has been under my care for 7 months now. So no contact with a male piggy. What I have noticed though is that she scratches a lot, not constantly that is, but as much as 15 times a day. I searched for any spots on her skin but found nothing, no spots, nothing. I have noticed that she eats a lot more than Salty, could it be due to her getting fatter? What should I do to make her lose weight if that's the case?
I have also noticed these light waves on her fur, that she didn't had when she was little!
You can see the waves I'm talking about and the pear-shape she has in the last two. Please HELP! should I be concerned? what should I do?
