Hi Mary.  Sounds as though Sir Teddy might well have mites.  Have you ever treated with Ivermectin for them?  BTW, mites do not show up under magnifying glasses or skin scrapings.  They live under the skin and if left untreated can cause seizures and ultimately death.  Serious stuff. You don't need a vet to treat for mites and the treatments won't hurt Teddy.  You'll need to treat at least 3 times 7 days apart.
   
  If you have a feed store or farm supply near you, you can buy the horse paste Ivermectin (with Ivermectin ONLY, nothing added!) and make up your own dosage.  Go to www.guinealynx.com for the correct dosing which depends on his TRUE weight which means you'll have to accurately weigh him, no guessing : ).  This is an inexpensive way to go as vets charge way too much.
   
  If you don't have these resources another place you can go is CalVet.  I don't remember the site address so just Google them.
   
  Hope this helps and good luck to you and Teddy.
