Hi, so I've taken my guinea pig in to the vet last week for a mite injection. He'd been scratching a lot lately (and I later spotted some dandruff behind his ears after the visit). The vet gave him the shot and one for vitamin C, and wanted me to return with a stool sample. I returned that and it came back negative for worms.
Anyway, besides that and a bit of lethargy, he seems okay. Still eating like a champ, as pictured from earlier yesterday:
...unfortunately, later that night I've found this on his nose:
I would call it a scab, but because of his fur it's more like a piece of his hair suddenly got crusty and weird? I'm too afraid to remove it, because I'm sure neither of us would enjoy it much, so if I could get any second opinions on what this could be I would truly appreciate it. Thanks.
