We bought two female piggies (9 weeks old) just 4 days ago who have been together from birth and who had been vet checked. When we brought them home that very thurs eve we noticed one had like a scab/cut hidden beneath the fur on its right side above her leg. It was also a bit bald. Also another slight scratch looking mark above her nose. We thought she may have been hurt, scratched or nipped by the other in transit so kept an eye on it. The other piggie had a tiny dry skin patch on her back. It was hard to see as very dark fur. The seller told us one older guinea had got a bit rough with some of the younger ones so separated them. We messaged her and she said it could be a nip from that older guinea as they had been vet checked. However, the side patch now looks healed and just bald so presume hair needs time to grow back. We have discovered on that same guinea an angry looking red patch on her back that looks sore and balding a bit.
We have got some ring worm spray for the time being and treating them both until we get to the vet but hoping this spray may work.
I have posted pics (if I can) to see what anyone else thinks. Thanks for any help and we will seek medical advice I just wanted any initial opinions.
I should add they are both eating, running around (as still getting used to us) and I have not seen them scratching/itching at all One looks like her ear may have been nibbled by the other slightly so could be stress of moving and getting used to each other.
