Answer
Hi

It sounds like your pig either has mites or some sort of parasitic infection. The two conditions are very similar but it may also come with red lesions on her skin. The best bet is to take her to a vet where he will give you an antibiotic if neccesary or just tell you to shampoo using antibacterial shampoo.
