Hi everyone,

I recently found a my guinea have a dark scab looking mark under the nose. I thought the scab would be gone but it's been there for awhile.

Here is a picture for your reference.

Take a look at www.guinealynx.info/cheilitis.html for the nose. It's not usually that color, but I guess it could be. It's the scabbiness that you want to compare.

The bald spot on his stomach looks like the bald spot around the nipple to me.

Thanks for the information, I will compare the dark spot with the link. As for the spot in the stomach I never knew where the guinea pigs nipple was located.
