Review Detail
Hi. We noticed this morning that one of our pigs has sores on her back and is scratching quite a bit. She doesn't want to be held or petted but her appetite is still good and she is quite mobile but drinks allot!
I think she may have a parasite (sp?). Do you know of any guinea vets in the Auburn WA area?
Hello! She most likely has mites. Very common and easy to treat, but can be fatal if not treated. You can even do it yourself following directions from www.guinealynx.info .
You can email me for more details at foggycreekcavyrescue@yahoo.com .
As for Cavy vets near Auburn, the best is actually in NE Tacoma-- Brown's Point Vet Clinic. Sometimes it can be hard to get in timely, though. The VCA Covington Animal Hospital is fine, too.
