Our guinea pig has a raw spot above her nose and a new one above her eye this morning, looks like mites. Cage is cleaned twice a week and she’s eating and drinking normal. We got her from the pet store 12 days ago.

It could be mites but it could also be ringworm. You will need to have Ginny examined by a vet in person in order to get a diagnosis. You need to be careful using medications near the eye so it is best to know what you are treating and what would be the appropriate treatment.
