Wizzy
Junior Guinea Pig
My 5.5 year old guinea pig Pepper is rossette haired and seems to have some dry flaky skin on 2 of her rosette’s on her lower back. I’ve cleaned them both and they seem to be making her uncomfortable, she kept turning her head to try to stop me from touching it. it’s lots and lots of flakes. I will book a vet appointment but i’m just wondering what this could be and what the treatment options are? my vet is a general vet so i usually advise them on what to do. she is acting normally but has lost about 45g in weight. i will add lots of pictures. it isn’t red or inflammed just very flaky. i’m hoping it isn’t ringworm. do i need to be worried about my other pig? she is smooth haired and shows no signs of it. The last photo is everything i brushed off her.
