Hi
I got a new pig (Rosie) 3 weeks ago and have started introducing her to my other 3 pigs. I was petting her yesterday when I noticed her fur (she is a smooth hair with quite a glossy coat) was uneven in 2 places. She has 2 bald patches about a centimetre and a half across but didn't seem at all uncomfortable with them being touched. Should I give all the pigs mite spray as a preventative just in case? We were at the vet less than a week ago for another pig and took her for a check up too. The vet checked her over and either didn't notice or wasn't concerned about the bald patches. She is an older female but I cant feel any cysts. Any idea what it could be?
Thanks
