Hey! Had two pretty little lady hogs fall into my lap yesterday. I can't say no to cute animals and my deployed husband is obsessed. So they are his birthday present when he gets home.
One of these ladies seems very itchy and has little blackish brown dots on the ends of most of her quills. I bathed her just now and used a tooth brush to scrub and they didn't come off. I also noticed some patches of yellowish odd looking skin. Not sure what's going on... Is it just the coloring of her quills? Is that just normal hedgie skin?? Still in the process of finding a vet but would Love some help in the mean time. Here are some pics.
