I have four female guinea pigs, and lately I've noticed that three of them, including my six month old female's two week old pup, have itching and hair thinning. I want to go ahead and treat them all for mites just to be safe, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about treating the baby (and I'm actually not sure how to treat any of them). The baby's still under a pound and it seems like everything I find about mite treatments is for guinea pigs that weigh over a pound.
I've also noticed that the baby has a slight head tilt. Well, it's not really a tilt, but she always turns her head slightly to the side, even when she walks. From some angles it doesn't even look like her head is turned. Should I be worried about this? It doesn't seem like it's impacting her mobility or getting any worse. She's been that way since the week she was born. Both of her siblings died before they turned a week old but they were both small and runt-y and she seems bright and healthy, except for the hair thinning.
