Hi all,
So my guinea pig Little Bear has a had a greasy spot on her back for quite some time now. My vet told me it was just her grease gland that is becoming active. However, I was looking at pictures and the area is much higher then above an imaginary tail. I took a closer look and I realized the fur is clumped together, white almost with a greasy/powdery feel. I used some coconut oil to help break it apart and it seemed to help but I checked today and it is still there. What could this be? I did start ivermectin treatment for mites 3 weeks ago but I noticed this spot on her for months now. I attached pictures Is this normal? It doesn't seem to bother her, but I can't imagine all the stuck together fur is comfortable.
