Hi
My 3 week old Guinea pig has a bald patch under his eye, it's scaly and crusty, although he doesn't appear to be scratching it as much as I'd expect.
I took him in to my vets......who we're reluctant to give a diagnosis or treatment but hinted towards Mites/Ringworm, she said she would makes some enquiries and contact me....she's just phoned and said as he is so young treatment is limited but they could do skin swabs for analasis and go from there. I must admit, I'm reluctant for a variety of reasons.....
Does anyone else have any experience in treating baby pigs for mites?
Advice greatly appreciated.
