ive got the coconeem melt i may have to order more soon with him having long hair though, i have about half a small tub left, and i am still treating bob. with him only being with me for 2 days so far i didnt want to put him through more stress than hes already been through, and as hes having spot on too, ill have to wait a little bit before i can bath him i think :-\ i did when i treated bob

bathing him is gonna be a nightmare considering how jumpy he is

he only has 2 rosettes for definate i got a good look today when i groomed him, but i dont care either way if he is a purebreed or not i still love him so much, i love all my boys :smitten:
 
You need to leave 48 hours between Ivermectin and Melt :) CocoNeem Melt and Manuka and Neem shampoo is what I use for fungal problems :)
 
i thought it was, but with bob i left 3 days between ivermectin and melt just to make sure O0 thats what i intended to do with merlin :) bob had his ast spot on on the same day as merlin so i plan to use the melt on them both on sunday

i dont have the shampoo you mentioned, but when i spoke to chrissie about having the wrong shampoo she said it would be fine to use the shampoo i already have. i need to make another order next week though so will order some of the manuka and neem shampoo as well as more coco neem melt (and maybe some posh and go) :)
 
What a cute piggy Merlin is. Thank goodness for your mum, imagine if she hadn't brought him for you :( poor thing. I'm sure he'll soon settle once he realises he has a loving owner who actually cares about him xx
 
i dread to think what state the poor guy would be in if i hadnt taken him. if he'd been there a few more weeks... :'( :'(

merlin is sleeping a lot today. earlier he was having a good sniff as he could hear and smell bob running around ;D

he doesnt like cucumber :o so am working on taming him with the foods i already know he likes, and gradually introduce a few more
 
What a brilliant late xmas pressie :smitten: :smitten:
How gorgeous x
 
awww what a great prezzie! soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! i'm in love :-* :-* :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: Hope his skin is better soon :-*
 
thank you :smitten: he is adorable, i love him so much :smitten: ill keep updating on his skin :)
 
Oh hes such a cutie, some of the melts have changed from chrissie i know use the shampoo that you leave on its less hassle for them and tbh mine love the gentle massage after they have had the soak
http://www.gorgeousguineas.com/microneem.html thats what i now use

it shouldnt take long for him to heal and he will have a lovely shiny coat !
 
i was looking at that as I'm not keen on the coconeem and i think I'm allergic to it, it makes me itch when i use it on the boys ::) but ill use whatever it takes to get them better, hepful to hear some feedback on it thanks :)

just waiting to hear back from crissie then ill put my order in, i need some new shampoo too so ill order it all together :)
 
i have a bit of good news :)

i just got merlin out for his medicine and to check him over and give him a groom, and his skin has lost some of its redness :) he is still very jumpy to the touch, and hes got a new scab from scratching but his skin already looks a little better than it did.

i gave him a good groom, as i dont want his coat to suffer any more than it is

he is a very vocal piggy ;D has loads of character :smitten:

spent a while earlier feeding him cabbage by hand, hes getting much braver as a result :smitten:
 
I am so pleased Merlins skin is getting better, I showed the kids pictures of Merlin last night and the youngest aged 5 kept saying thats Mervyn and I said No that is Merlin and she kept saying "No it's my guinea pig" lol
 
;D aw thats so cute :smitten: must be even more confusing as their names are similar!

I'm so happy he's already starting to clear up, its only been a few days, but still got a long way to go!
 
Aww thats fantastic news hun! One step closer to meeting his new brothers :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
 
:smitten: :smitten: yay/ cant believe how well they are getting on just living in the same room!

merlin seems to like being able to see and hear bob and munchie :)
 
What a stunning little guy :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
Thank goodness you girls went to the shop and rescued him from that horrible existence :'( :'( :'(
He'll be soooo happy with you and his big brothers :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
>:D me pignap 3 piggies now ::) ::) ::) ;)
 
;D glad you like him glynis! i warn you, he isnt afraid to show off his piggy lips (he does it all day ::) ;D) so expect plenty of pictures in future!

I know :(
 
merlin is being so well behaved today, he is sat on my knee having strokes and cuddles. he let me get photos of parts of his skin so ill upload in a sec. he had a lot of loose scabs in his hair today so ive just carefully groomed them out.
 
heres a few piccies of merlins skin. its a lot better than it was, but he does have worse patches than this. these are the patches he would let me take photos of, that have cleared up a little

i cant believe how much he looks like my Hunny, theres lots of little identical piggies out there...lol

glad the skins starting to get better, Munchkin was in a similar state when i got her from p@h, once the skin clears up the jumpiness stops, ud hate to be touched urself if u were sore, poor were criter!
 
yeah when i het him out, i gently partly wrap him in a big towel, and then gently stroke him from the bottom of his back, as he doesnt jump quite so bad then as he dos if you stroke his neck/head area
 
merlins GG order is sent, chrissie was so helpful and is sending it in the post today for me so i can treat him asap :)

ive ordered the microneem, manuka and neem shampoo, and the lavender and myrrh lotion as recommended by chrissie so hoping it will help get him ceared up in no time :)

i also ordered him some posh and go for when he is all better :)
 
Lez said:
thank you for all the advice on his skin :)

karen, yes his skin is very red and very very flakey, i get covered in skin flakes every time i pick him up. i havent used the GG melt yet, as he has a couple of open wounds where he has scratched, but i do have some handy as bob is still being treated with it for his mites at the minute, i was thinking of using it once his skin has healed a little

in my experience the spot on is a bit pants, its not really worked much for bob, so ive given up and am using GG products on him

I'm intending on changing vets, i need to really find a decent vet in my area, up until now they have been fine but my last few visits havent exactly been satisfactory. i need a better vet in the derby area

just a quick update on merlin, he is settling suprisingly well. he has spent about 5 minutes since i got him in his bed, the rest of the time he has been out nosing around. hes pretty brave when he is in his cage and doesnt run away, he just hates being touched. so far he has chomped his way through celery, parsley, brocolli, and kale so nothing wrong with his appetite! ;D

and bob and munchie havent kicked up a fuss either, bob weeked at him once, and they sniff about occasionally, but otherwise they dont seem phazed by his presence in my room, which is very unusual, so I'm hoping its a good sign for the future


oh also he only has 2 rosetted, i got to check today.

his hair is gorgeous, on his bum it curls up his sides, and flicks out at the back. he has nice curls :smitten:

he know he looks like my sammy and ruby and his eyes look like my rubens (all three are borthers and sisters)
