Flaky Ear

[Bethany Cook]

I'm a newbie. I got Peanut about three weeks ago from petsmart. She's been acting normal from what I've read about Guinea pigs since I'm very new at having one. But I've noticed that one of her ears in hard at the edges on the outside and when I turned her ear over it was flaky. The other one looks and feel normal. I don't know what this means or how to fix it. Have any ideas?

Also the outside of her ear looks normal. No loss of hair.

I'll tag in @Adelle, she'll know what to do. For now, try not to fret!

Id pop her along to the vet to rule out any parasites or fungal issues. Please don't treat without a vets diagnosis as this can make it worse in some cases.

All the best!
