Lucas one wheek later.
Lucas and Broc arrived here seperately but on the same day and have ended up together as hutchmates. Both are boars with Broc being adult and Lucas, I was told, is 14 wheeks.
The lovely Lucas was taken into a vets because of a skin condition that needed treatment, however his Humans didn’t think he was worth the pennies so opted to have him put to sleep. He was signed over to the vets who contacted me to ask if he could come here, so here he is! He was diagnosed with mange but the flaky skin pointed more towards a fungal problem and given that mange treatment often aggravates the skin more it was decided to try and clear this up using the gentlest products available first. He started his course of Gorgeous Guineas Lavender and Myrrh Lotion (made from scratch so they don’t have to) at once, having twice daily applications at first. He’s only having the one now but the skin is barely visible through all the new hair that is growing back 
He has had his second check up at the vets who were astounded at the progress he’d made with such simple treatment. Although our vets stock Gorgeous Guineas products they never cease to be amazed at what they can do with so little effort to help guinea pigs.
I’m thankful that at least Lucas’ Humans recognised he needed veterinary care and sought help at once, if left this could have been quite dramatic and would’ve taken longer to clear up. Because of Gorgeous Guineas yet andother drama has been delayed and diverted, and a crisis avoided.
Broc is one of the most chilled out guineas ever. A Lemon Agouti Rexoid with a white crest he spends a lot of time chilling out and occasionaly pops his head up to have a look at the girls nextdoor. He was found dumped in someone’s garden in a cardboard box with some Broccoli in. He’s settled well with Lucas and keeps him in order if he gets a bit too assertive. He’s also been back for his health check and given the all clear for being rehomed once he’s spent the time needed here.
