Hi wonder if anyone can help me or suggest what I can put on this. I have takn Ozzy to the vets as he has got really dry skin on his ears. I thought he may have mites or mange (sp?) possibly but they hav done scrapings and looked at him and he hasn't got anything wrong with him :? They haven't given me any cream to put on it as they said it will heal on it's own. Me being me I want to put something cooling on it to soothe his ears make this less dry. They are not bad and I am wondering if it could have something to do with the moult he is going through at the moment or whether he has been spending to long in the sun - he has shade but decides to sit in the sun all day :roll: :roll: Can anyone help me??

A bit of Vaseline should help

Thankyou so much for posting on this!
Exactly what my vet said about Isaac last night - except I really dont think it is mites... its just his ears on the skin inside seem a bit flaky. So thanks for the info!

Thanks for posting that link Jane, Scarlett has a very dry patch on her back where she has been moulting and the vet said she doesnt have mites or anything. I have just ordered some

It must be that time of year. Squidgy has had 'dandruff' but the vet says it's not mites, and is most probably connected to the very heavy moult he's going through.
I put aloe vera juice in his water, sure someone on here recommended that :?

Ozzy has been much better since I started putting the aloe on his ears. I already use the aloe juice for my parrot so it looks like I will be stocking the cupboard up. Thanks Jane :thumb:

Have a look on the Gorgeous Guineas website http://www.gorgeousguineas.com/lotion.html
They have a soothe gel that works better on buns that on the guineas and is brilliant for grazes or sores.
