Hello. I just read every thread on dandruff and it seems not many people even bother to respond to the question. So please if you have any advice please let me know. Here is the situation...
Wendell is a guinea pig that I rescued from being euthanized at a local pet store. Seems he was there for 4 months and after being listed for free for the last two weeks he was there still no one wanted him. I dont know his age. He is a Texel or a mix and didnt know what to do with veggies when I brought him home. So I took him to the vet (3 months ago) because he was itching a lot and he had a severe case of dandruff. He was treated twice with injected invermectin and treated twice with topical revolution over a months time. We also shaved him. Well now he has been vet checked and has no fungus, no lice, no parisites. His hair has grown back and he is not scratching. But he still has a thick layer of dandruff in about a 2 inch square area on his butt. I know for sure it is not his grease gland unless his grease gland extrudes white stuff... So what can I do? His vet is not too cavy savy and I know this but she is willing to do research and learn with me. So it must be dandruff so now what? O' also he seems to not like that area being touched or brushed. Are there any home products I could use? Or over the counter stuff? Cat dandruff spray? Bath stuff? He does not like being petted or cuddled I would like to make him more comfortable. Please let me know what I can do??? Thank you
