Hello :) I bought two guinea pigs, a black one and a white one. I bought them from a breeder, not a pet shop. The black baby pig has mange on his back (did have) and has been sorted by the breeder, the hair is growing back and the mange isn't spreading. The white baby doesn't have any mange on his body and hasn't lost any hair, but does have something strange on his ear, looks like eczema. The black baby has it as well but not very much of it all. I wonder if anyone would be able help in what this could be and what I can do. They are both 10 weeks old. Thank you so much :) 20200312_151637.webp20200312_151446.webp20200312_151428.webp20200312_151413.webp
 
I am no vet but, my guinea pigs ears looked the same way. All I did was rub some coconut oil on them once every other day for a week and their ears cleared up. If the dryness continues I would see a vet possibly. But definitely try the coconut oil because that is what re-moisturized by boys ears. :)
 
Wonderful thank you so much :) I will buy some as soon as possible! Thank you so much for your help :) x
