Guinea Pig Skin Problems?
Emma G asked:
I have noticed that one of my guinea pigs has very dry skin, some of it even flaky. Just like she has eczema or something. I have also noticed like a black mark on her, like she has a mole on her and this is also flaking. She doesn’t seem to be in pain and she isn’t itchin. I’ve made an appointment for the vets but I would just like to know if any other guinea pig owners has had the same problem and if so, what casued it?

Russian Dwarf Hamster, with skin problems?
Sid♥Dogs•Cats•Hamsters asked:
My Russian Dwarf Hamster, Cherry, is albino, and blind. She is really sweet and gentle.
She has lots of problems….
I have noticed, she had a bald spot on her back, then I picked her up, and realized her whole underside was bald. Just in the past 3 weeks.
I have noticed her scratching and biting herself.
I don’t think she has a flee. I clean her cage once a week.
Is there something wrong with her skin?

Guinea pig skin problems?
kayla922 asked:
my guinea pig has hair loss under its tummy and little bumps on her skin but it isn’t red or saw. Could this be mites she also has greasy fur that is associated with fungus but she show no other signs of fungus, What can i do to get rid of this. i have been told by lots of guinea pig owners not to go to the vet as they often wrongly diagnose guinea pig skin problems and put them down when all it would have taken was an oil rub to help the animal get better.
Harry rolls you are a wierdo!

Which bedding is best for my rat that has skin problems?
•♥Rat a holic♥• asked:
My dumbo rat, Bonnie, gets sores and scabs and is always scratching herself. So I found online what to do, and one suggestion is to change their bedding. What’s a good bedding to change to that doesn’t normally give off allergic reactions? I currently use “Carefresh Colors”, I think it’s called. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!
Tori- does Carefresh give off dust which can cause allergic reaction? is wood shavings okay?
