New Born Pup
Hey all,
I've found a scab on my piggie's back (left hand side just after her front leg) and not sure what it is. She's had a few ringworm breakouts in the last few months, but has been in the clear for ~3 months now. I've noticed she's itching this spot a fair bit & also has dandruff throughout her coat which is making me think this could be mange mites. Her cage mate (also female) had a similar scab a few months ago but the vet suspected it was just a bite.
Welcome any thoughts on what this might be (see attached photo) please
will book her in with the vets after BH weekend too.![Guinea pig scratch.webp Guinea pig scratch.webp](https://data.theguineapigforum.co.uk/attachments/246/246264-83a4ff90ad61f5eceaea32f14b5f6057.jpg?hash=ROPKXwOojn)
