Hi
Mr Benjamin Fairweather is moulting at the moment but i noticed the other day he looked a bit extra moth eaten.
i gave him a good brush and got lots of loose fur out and thought nothing more of it.
tonight i picked him up and had a good poke around and he seems fine except for the fronts of his ears.
the outside of both ears has silvery white flakes of skin which i can rub off....there's no dandruff in his main coat although it still looks a bit moth eaten as well as the normal moult line.
i've nuked him with a pipette of xeno 450 assuming that it's mites.
tomorrow when i clean him out i'm going to bin his fleeces and mite spray his vetbed then hot wash it and spray hutch with cage n hutch spray.oops:can you tell i hate parasites).
is there anything else i should do?
is there anything else it could be?
I REALLY REALLY HATE MITESi'm sorry but a few years ago we bought a big sack of guinea pig food and unknown to us it was infested with grain mites..so i cannot bear anything like bugs....shudder
