We'll be taking Carson to the vet later. I found wounds on his back a couple of weeks ago. We were thinking it might be bite marks coz during those times, Bodie was constantly trying to hump him and we always saw him climbing Carson. But today when I checked it again, I notice some thining hair on his back right hip. Hopefully it's just a simple Ivermectin medication. Bryce used to have this on his back when we adopted him and a couple of doses of Ivermectin fixed it. At the moment, Carson is still his usual naughty self and not really scratching more than the usual.
We're going on holiday in 3 weeks and fingers crossed it's fixed by then!

So we've just been to the vet. He admitted he didn't know much about guinea pigs so...
Well he said it looks more like some bite wounds. There is also one by his cheek that does look like a nip/bite. And by the hip as well where some hair thining. He said he can't seem to see any parasite crawling on him. And it does look inflamed but not infected. For the time being, he said give him metacam for a week and see if it does help with the inflamation. Then come back after a week if the problem persist. So we'll give that a go, and then we might take him to the other local vet for a second opinion. I asked him about giving Ivermectin and he said he can't see any reason to for now. (I'm honestly skeptical but okay, we'll see in a week)
