My guinea-pig, Bindi, has a bit of dandruff on her but she has had this for ages and it's small, white, dots that are all over her but there are more on her head and on a line down her back... could this be mites/ lice? :{ x

Click to expand...

dandruff is one of the symptoms of mites... along with excessive itching... bald spots... sort, irritated skin etc...
might be worth while getting a spot on treatment for her... make sure it contains ivermectin... as thats the most succesfull type.....
hope this has helped....
