Hi
My Henry has been loosing the odd quill most nights since i've had him, but the other night i woke up & found 15 in his cage. I've also noticed hairs which i've not seen before. He's too old to be quilling (roughly a year old) and there are no obvious bald spots that i can see.
He's also been going to the vet on & off about a dry ear problem on one ear, which the vet was not too worried about.(viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2375) She also doesn't believe him to have mites (he scratches occasionally but not all the time).
Hes his normal self, eating a drinking etc. Hes put on a little weight but he seems to have a got a little bigger in size as well. Im using Flaxseed oil on his ears & back and it goes in his food twice a week. An oatmeal bath roughly once a month.
He now has another vet appointment on Monday as not only the quill & hair loss, but his other ear has started to fade in colour & look a little dry. But in the mean time does anyone have any suggestions i can put to vet? Is it most likely to be mites?
