guinea pig hairloss


Question Posted Monday April 28 2008, 9:00 pm

i have a guinea pig and right behind her left and right ears, she seems to have a patch of hair just like, missing. like if i move the fur apart she just has a chunk missing. it's about the size of a dime or penny. it's the size of a quarter behind her left ear. the skin is dry and she was not reacting when i touched it (it's not itchy or anything) and it's black. what could it be? i'm going to take her to the vet, but in the meantime, what might it possibly be from the symtoms i've listed?

I have a quinea pig, and she too has this. It's just the way it is in Guinea Pigs. But if you're still worried about it, you can take her to the vet. Try looking online for some sites about Guinea Pigs and read up about it. Who knows what you might learn? :]
Good luck,
rowan.

I agree with the person below me

I have had guinea pigs before and every single one has those spots Every guinea pig has them so they are normal. Hair just doesn't grow there

I've got a guinea pig and these bald spots are perfectly normal. Don't know why they're there but there shouldn't be anything to worry about. The skin being black could just be the skin colour.
