And the Doctor says.....

   YAY Daryl is on the road to recovery!!  The doctor said his skin is already looking good and healing so the coconut oil did good in keeping his skin healthy!  She gave him the Ivermectin and he needs to be back on the 27th for his next dose!  She literally only applied 1 drop of the Ivermectin!  I laughed when she did it and I told her I definitely could have done that myself but she said she would have rathered me go in there for the first application to make sure it was done correctly.  She only wants me to come back to do the next one to have him reweighed before doing it!  She said I can do the third dose on my own though.

   As far as the coconut oil goes she said it has really helped to condition his skin and it should speed up the hair growing process so thats awesome!  She also said to keep putting it on there if he has not been itching since I been applying it and he definitely has not been itching at all since I been using it!  So if your guinea pig has a mite issue buy some Virgin Coconut Oil and put just a small amount on the spots and gently rub it on and it should help with the itching! And definitely get him/her treated of course! She has told me a few times that it helps starve the mites and Im not sure how and I keep forgetting to ask why but it is definitely helping keep him comfortable I do know that!

   Well, I will be taking daily photos to see his healing progress day by day!  I can't wait for him to be healed and healthy again!
