Whats wrong with piggy losing hair??

[B520]

So I got my dad a pot bellied pig last year and it grew bigger, grew tusks (still friendly as ever) but now he is missing hair. Whats up with that? Missing hair on legs too that you can't see in the pic.

I assumed he was just shedding for the heat but I'm scared now.

Could be ringworm or some other fungus, or mange. Once you find out what it is, it shouldn't be hard to fix. If the pig were mine, I would spray him with BluKote. If it is a fungus you should see an improvement in a very few days. If nothing happens you will need to try something else. A consult with a vet may be in order.
