Greasy Hair And Dandruff..............

[rosie and bramble]

Out of a group of 3 only 1 is like this. Most likely start of fungal so do i do the neem melt from GG and wash off with Manuka and neem or do i get some nizoral?
There are no bald patches and she is not scratching but does seem a little tender x

I'm not very familiar with the GG products, so I would go with the nizoral - leave it on for 10 mins before washing it off thoroughly and then re-shampoo with a mild shampoo.

You could also give her a bath with Vetsect shampoo. Most of the experts at Guinea Pig Magazine use it.
It is apparently good for fungal, ringworm, dandruff etc..... You can get it on the Net. Amazon sell it.

I would also go with Imaverol too after shampooing. I can post the link at lunch. Ideally needs a vet diagnosis though if it doesn't help.

How soon after shampooing would you use imavarol ?

 

[rosie and bramble]

The vetsect looks good, especially the price

got my imaverol from here, and it worked a treat!

straight after rinsing the shampoo out I dip mine in the imaverol. they're really not keen on baths so doing it all in one fell swoop means I don't stress them out on two separate occasions!

Thanks @hattie.r

I use it straight after the shampoo is rinsed off, dunk them in it and don't rinse off.

This is where I get mine, you don't need a prescription

If you see the vet and they prescribe a stronger shampoo such as Malaseb I would still follow with Imaverol. All products need to be patch tested for 48 hours behind the ear before use.
