My gineau pig has been losing his fur on his back near his bottom. It worries me because the skin is blotchy. Is there any affordable medicated shampoos that I could purchase to help him?

Do you notice any scratchbing or itching?

Does he bite at the spot often?

What type of bedding is he on?

Always check with your vet for any symptoms your pet exhibits.
