Ginger
My guinea pig (Ginger) has had very dry skin for some time now. Recently I have noticed that she has been scratching herself causing scabs. She doesn't like to have her fur scratched (she used to purr when I scratched her back gently). I have also seen her go into spasms (I would describe them as seizures).
So, of course, I went online to do research. I think she has mange mites (trixacarus caviae).
I read that the best way to cure guinea pigs with mange mites is by using ivermectin, but the dosage instructions are complicated and hard to understand.
Can anyone shed some light on this complicated situation?
Thanks so much!
