Hello,
My guinea pig, Rikky, has a bold patch on his back. I have read online that it might be mites and to treat it ivermectim. I bought some from pets at home. The first treatment was three weeks ago, and it said on the box to re do it after 4 weeks. However his bold patch has not improved, also he started getting it on his nose. Today I have noticed that he has some kind of dandruff on his bottom, also some black dots that are around his fur, they are not moving or anything but it seems worrying. I am not sure if this could be because he likes to lay in hay.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
