Should our pigs have dry, flakey skin?
-
They often have, mostly visible along the ridge of their back. If it seems to trouble them (having the odd good scratch is normal, scratching constantly isn't), just put baby oil on it.
:wave:
-
is it quite thick, or just a bit dandruff-y?
could be mange, if its a real problem....
-
you could try giving her a wash and a brush they always look better after this :pig:

Thanks! Hope mange isn't an issue.
It looks white and dandruffy, no red , no unusual scratching.
