Our rescue had a senior pig named Pudge who had severe hairloss. We treated for mites again and again with no improvement, and we finally discovered that he seemed to have a staph infection in his skin.
Here are his pictures: http://blog.allcreaturesrescue.org/2008 ... h-updates/
We estimated him to be 6-7 at the time.
Please help to make an old idea go away
all my elderly pigs had more hair in their last years then when they were younger. Pippin was 5 and uber fluffly, granny was 9 and very fluffy, DJ was 9 and had a gorgeous shiny thick coat and currently Chewie who's 8 has so much hair now her aby rosettes have disappeared :D
the only time I've experienced slight hair loss was due to mites.
The Dutch (in general) are so stubborn & I'm so happy I live in the UK now!
