Hi Guys, I'm new to this site, hope you might be able to help me.
I have had my 2 rescue GP's for 3 years, 2 days ago I notice that one of them (Charcoal) has a small bold patch on his nose. Having read a few of the threads on here, I think it could be the start of a fungal infection. So I decided to give both of them a neem shampoo bath. Please find pic attached.
Do you think I should keep up the baths or what sort of cream would you recommend? Thanks Jake

You need to take him to the vet to determine what it is as it could be a number of things.
 
Piggyfan is right it could be something as stupid as having a bar chewer ben is a bar biter and has a patch on his nose where the hair has worn off
 
Thanks Gizmo01 and PiggyFan, Have taken piggies to the vets she thinks it's mites as she found a another little bold bold patch on his back. So we are on a course of ivermectin. Fingers crossed it will work and I will have a better piggy soon. :aJFBQ00150070111B:( PS It would be nice to have some Guinea Pig Smiles)
