TinselW
Hi everyone, I'm new here. i have a 2 guineas, toffee (short haired, little rosete on head,i re-homed from a zoo, so unkown age. and tinsel (a half long haired grey and white piggy, about 1 year old).
Iv just been checking my pigs over and i noticed that Tinsel has a thickish but small patch of what looks like dandruff on her back. its only on her lower back and it isnt any where else. i was a bit concerned it could be mites but as iv never had a guinea thats had it before i dont really know what it would look like. Iv also never owned a long haired piggy before, but i was told she was short haired when i got her, so i wasnt sure if it was perhaps somthing that piggys with longer hair got?
Shes eating fine and bright as normal.
I will take her vets tomorrow, but does anyone have know if its likely to be mites if it is only a small patch on her back?
Will be gratefull for any replies.
Thanks.
