One of my piggie have a V spot on her back, at first she had a bite mark from one of the cagemate/hurt herself while scratching I'm assuming, it healed, the hair regrew but it's not as long as the rest so the V is still visible, its like half length, and it's been a few months, and she seem to be scratching it, and when i touch it she flinches a little and she try to scratch it while touching the area... The only exotic vet around me isn't taking new clients until the end of October, (which is why i never managed to bring her to said vet yet) so i'm not sure what to do. None of my other 7 pigs have any bald spots/V on their backs and none are scratching as much as her. Her skin do seem slightly dry, and i did put a tiny amount of coconut oil. I can't get Revolution in Canada without a prescription so i can't really try this, the only thing i found is Ivermectin/Bimectin for horses, so should i look more into it? or should i look more into an antifungal shampoo and give her a bath? she isn't obsessively scratching though, no redness on her skin and her coat is very shiny and healthy looking except for that V spot. All 7 other pigs are also shiny and healthy looking and no one is scratching. This is really confusing and i'm not sure what to do until the end of October
For reference she is 11 months old and she is 1138g, and potentially a Rex mixed with something else. Always running to me every time i get up/walk by and always popcorning and happy also, so i doubt she is in any pain
You can see it slightly here, the spot on her rib area is just fluffed up because she was sleeping in a tunnel, she isn't thinning out anywhere except the V
