Question

I think my hammie Laverne might have mites. She's got two bald spots, and she's rolling and scratching everywhere. What should I do?

Optional Information

Answer

This definitely sounds like mites. You should have her seen by your vet to make sure that that is the problem. There are different treatments for mites but they require a vet to give a prescription. Have her seen soon, they may need to do a skin scraping to determine what type of mite is causing the problem. She could also have a fungal infection which can cause the same symptoms but it would be treated differently than mites.
