Pig still not eating!

We´re having more problems with Tabi. :(
We took her to the new vet, and he said there were still overgrown teeth, so he clipped them and said she should be able to eat. She hasn´t been able to eat anything yet, but we´re still hopeful.
She´s drooling a lot, or at least I´m assuming she is because for the last few weeks her chin is always wet and her fur there is always in spikes. In the past few days, she´s started losing big hunks of fur from under her chin, and you can now see her skin there in patches. Why is this happening? Is this a symptom of some underlying disease that caused all of her troubles, or just because of the fur being wet all the time? We gave her a bath for the first time ever a few days ago, trying to clean the fur under the chin, and used Baby Shampoo. Could this have caused her fur to fall out? We´re really concerned, especially as her eating situation shows no sign of improvement whatsoever.
Any suggestions?
