We got 2 types; One which is more organic (my personal preferences although Aiko hates it a lot!), and the other is Triderma from the vets.
The organic one consists of tea tree, rosemary and eucalyptus. Product made in Thailand. Also can be use for dogs and cats.
The one from the doctor, I seriously have no idea. She only tell me that it's something for Aiko's fungal area. I tried makin my own research, I can only see that it's for humans. I'll have to ask the doctor about it on our next check up.
It's vital to treat sensitive skin and this applies to animals too! It's painful when you keep on scratching, causing bruises and making it worst. I am lucky that my baby is jujust in early stage. Hopefully, she gets well soon.
Aiko hates that I Clean her nose area before applying. This is her last night; running towards me for comfort.
Something to be aware about!
I read an info about Mange Mites Trixacarus caviae and it's creeping me out! So apparently, it's fatal if the little shits go under your skin!
The Signs
- These species specific microscopic mites.
- Causes: unbearable itchiness for the animal which can result in thinning and/or patchy loss of hair, scurfing of the skin (may resemble dandruff)
- Extreme scratching and biting which aggravates the hair loss
- Scratching by hand may produce such pain and irritation in guinea pigs that it looks like it's having a fit.
- A guinea pig suffering from mites may become less friendly and be reluctant to interact with its owner.
