Teenage Guinea Pig
Boris, my 1 year old male has always had slightly flakey skin but I pinned that on the fact that I was struggling to treat Hay Lice on him, however they've been gone for quite some time now and his dandruff is worse then ever.
It's very hard to notice in his fur as he is pure white, so I can only tell when he's being stroked and the flakes collect on the material he's sitting on at his bottom, when he shakes himself (you can see flakes fly off) and on my younger male, Badger, who gets the flakes on him when they're close (he's black).
He isn't itchy normally, only when I scratch a certain part of his back when he will try to bite that area himself. His skin isn't red, with no signs of the skin peeling when I part his hair and there's no hair loss or scabbing.
It was worse then ever today after I bathed them both due to a running lice scare
Does this sound like a fungal infection to anyone who has had experience in that area? Or just sensitive skin?
Thank you!
