Young Bun
Noticed a few days ago that Tilly has a bald spot, very dandruffy, on her back... along the spine.
Spring fever has casued some debates about who's chief bun, with humping, so I assumed her husbun had pulled her fur out doing this. Now, I think it could be fur mites (cheyletiella parasitovorax) due to the dandruff.
Vet or is there something I can buy to treat it?
She is otherwise in good health, had a general checkup in early December and is currently racing around the back yard...
Also I'm curious as to where mites may have come from? They've not been going outside for weeks (too cold for their taste, I made them go out today as it's warmed up!)
