karenrgpr Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 The best person to email is Chrissie @ Gorgeous Guineas for skin problems unless the guinea is in distress/not eating. info@gorgeousguineas.com She'll advise on a suitable product if needed or if in doubt will advise veterinary treatment. WE use her products on the rescue guineas, as do other rescues. http://www.gorgeousguineas.com Edit: Chrissie uses as few 'chemicals' as possible, her products are constantly being improved. Like you, she aims for as natural as possible without compromising the health of guineas. She is a qualified aromatherapist. Her products are made especially for guineas.

jam Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hi One of my guinea pigs sherbet is loosing hair on her back. About half a year ago one of my other guinea pigs mickey had the same problem and the vets said he had the mange virus that he got from the bedding i use in his hutch. Could sherbet have the same thing and if so, how can i prevent the virus, because the farm shop where i buy bales from is the only place near me where i can get bedding that doesnt cost me a small fortune! Im open to any suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenrgpr Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 http://www.gorgeousguineas.com/photogallery.html has pigtures of skin problems in guinea pigs. You can email them for advice too. If possible send a pigture of the back where the hairloss is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
