Hi GPDDers :)
Thanks for your responses about dry ears. Yes gorgeous guineas is the place
I was thinking of!! I'm going to check if they can send things to Australia
and if they can I think I'll order some. The ointment I was talking about
is http://www.lucaspapaw.com.au/ Lucas' papaw ointment. I use it myself and
it's very moisturising. I think perhaps I will ask my vet just in case.
We do use oatmeal shampoo and I think it's fantastic. We have 2 cats and a
dog and rats and we use it on all of them as well as the piggies and it's
really good and smells lovely. Also a big fan of betadine! That stuff is
great. I always have some for any scratches or whatever I get, and for the
pets too just in case, cos I know my vet uses it.
I hope it is not fungal.. It's been there for a long time, and it stayed
after the last dose of ivermec I gave my pigs a while back and I'm
comforting myself with knowing that the breed she is (I can't remember ...
rex? Or teddy?) often has dry skin... so we shall see.
Thanks so much for all your advice :D
