I got a new girl guinea at the weekend to live with my existing two sows. The day after I bought her - indirectly from a breeder, I noticed she has a bald patch on her back. I didn't notice when I got her because she has such lovely long hair. I'm wondering if it could be ringworm as I had a pig with the condition about a year ago. As a precaution I've given her a wash with malaseb but I'm not convinced its a fungal infection because it doesn't seem to be itchy or tender and whilst I have seen some moulting of her fur there is no scurffing or clumps of hair coming out...
Any ideas what it could be/ what I should do?
My only other though is as shes 3 months it could be a healed scar, but doesn't look like scar tissue and all injured guineas I've had before tend to regrow their hair... :-\
