Junior Guinea Pig
Hi
Have just come back from the vets (again). We are trying to get to the bottom of a recurring hairloss problem. Back history can be read in this thread http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=63267
The test results have come back negative for mites and for ringworm. All 4 of my guinea pigs have not responded to the Invectimin injection they were given 10 days ago (although Colby was brighter in himself for about 3 days but hairloss has not improved and he is grumpy again).
I would really appreciate any suggestions from you all on what we can look at next as the cause. Vet and I have agreed to go away and do some further research to see what else might be causing the problem.
Vit C deficiency is the only other suggestion at the moment and vet has given me Vit C tablets to get down them. As they get more fresh fruit and vedge than I do each day I am doubting this is the problem but willing to give it a go.
Any suggestions on what we can look at next please?
Thanks in advance
