Sounds as if she has fleas or mites I would get her checked out if I were you to be on the safe side. ____________ Dog: Katie

You need to buy a lotion t your nearist pet sop so you can get rid of the mites - i recon the mites from your hamster have gone to your guinypig and possably all your other animals !!
realy clean out your house using a special spray too .
You also need to have your male guiny pig castrated so that they can be introdused to each other as they need company !!
love coliel |
