scab on back

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...

Hi, we recently adopted two guinea pig sisters from a woman who could not care for them anymore, due to allergies. Yesterday, I realized that the two guinea pigs had scabs on their backs, and they were in the same spot on either pig. I'm not too sure what the scabs are or mean, but I just want...

I was stroking my 6 year old female guinea pig and found a small blackish scab on her back, along with what looks like a spur. It is painful for her if I tap it even lightly. I'm not sure whether it is something like mange or not because she doesn't seem to be itching. She has a cage mate and...
