My mouse Inka has developed a round dry/flaky patch on her back just below her shoulder blades.On tues her coat just looked a little ruffled in that area, yesterday I could see a very small gap in her coat, now this morning there is a definite round dry patch so it has developed quite quickly.From what I can see there are also a few tiny blood spots in the dry patch so it may be itchy but I have not seen her scratching at all. History; She was treated with Ivermectin, 1x drop back of neck, 2 doses(last one 2 weeks ago) She is not 100% healthy (she was the topic of a previous post The dreaded sneeze) She is still rattling/sneezing but up until now has shown no other signs of ill health, has a huge appetite and as playful as always!
I wondered if Mice can get Ringworm, or maybe I have too much or too little of something in her diet? I am so disappointed as I had hopes of having healthier Mice when I got these guys( after many years of upset with our local pet shop types) Inka is such a poppet and things just seem to be going wrong.
If anyone has any ideas/advice that would be fab, it would be good to know what to expect when I take her to the Vet.
