ok, I went to the 'guinea pig forum' and got frustrated on how to post a new thread, so I came back home....(here)lol.
we just got a new female guinea pig yesterday, she's very sweet and calm, and real snuggle bug of sorts, young too, maybe 2-3 months old.
my daughter noticed a skin irritation on the top part of her paw, near her shoulder, which we didn't notice in the store.
it doesn't cause her any pain, but we are not sure what it is. we are currently putting on a topical cream on it, which is actually for my birds, but figured it wouldn't hurt her, it's made by Harrisons called Heal X.
It has reduced the dryness and redness. we just don't know enough about guinea pigs to know what this is.I've looked on line and didn't really find anything that was useful info.
the area is not as red today, and we gave her Ivermectin last night,in case it's due to mites and of course is being quarantined.
we have a 2 week period in order to return her if she doesn't work out.
I don't mean to sound heartless, but if we noticed the spot on her paw, we would not have bought her. she was the last one we chose to pick up and the sweetest by far out of them all. But we have to be sensible as well.
in the first link it looks like a bump but it is not a bump, it's just the way it looks.
