Hi,
My daughter has two male piggies-- Ginger is 6 mos and Meep is 5 mos. Meep has a few scabs (dried blood) on his body. The largest is less than a cm. He is not losing fur and is eating fine. I took him to vet today (not a specialist- Saturday), and the vet focused on nutrition and told me to use silver colloidal cream on the scabs. Ginger and Meep don't usually fight, but my daughter was away for two nights on a school trip (I fed them, but they slept in my daughter's room). Are there characteristics of wounds caused by mites vs. bites? Thanks for any help or insight.
