Does Blaze need a vet

[helenllama]

I was sitting, with him, washing his little boy bits. Due to hay keeping on getting in there.

Blaze under his joint for his back paw has a red scab with a ring round it.
Does he need to see a vet?

ummmmm any piccies of this ?

 

[helenllama]

It isn't actually on his paw, or leg.
It is on his front, between the leg and his little boy bits.
It seems very red. and sore.
My fault
Sorry can't get a good photo of it...

Ummmm is it inbetween his legs then ? If so it could be just itchy skin ?

 

[maryh]

Could be ringworm but a pic would help.

 

[helenllama]

This is the best I could do... sorry.

Can't make anything out on that pic Helen. I would take him to the vet just to be on the safe side. How is Spice? Any itching or scratching on him?

I couldnt make anything out either but one area does look dark red as in dried blood but id go to the vets too as they would be able to tell you what it is and give treatment if need be O0 Good Luck :smitten:

 

[helenllama]

That was spice.
And yes there has been scratching.
I'll make a vets appt tommorow. It is only about 5 mins down the road

 

[helenllama]

Yeah. It was about Blaze. But Spice has the same thing too. Spice is the new name for mouse.
They are on Hay and Newspaper.

 

[helenllama]

Yes, Johnstons Clean'n'safe.

 

[jnenbnb]

[helenllama]

Oh - that would make sense. My guinea pig anatomy is not very good, as we can all tell.

 

[jnenbnb]

Hi Helen,

Missed all this was in bed ;D Well done for being so observant in any case. You are doing a fine job with the boys and are doing just the right thing asking any questions you have.

Helen.
