bald spot on his nose

Question
Our Guinea pig flower was recently united with another pig named fluffy.  Fluffy is more aggressive and may have bitten flower on the nose.  Now Flower is missing hair on his nose.  He is very healthy....eats and drinks normal.  Any suggestions?

Answer
Kerri,

You may want to watch Flower and Fluffy, just to make sure Fluffy doesn't hurt Flower. If Fluffy gets to aggressive with Flower you are going to need to separate them so Flower doesn't get seriously hurt or injured.

Also keep an eye on Flower's nose, just to make sure nothing else happens to it. His hair will grow back soon, since there seems nothing else wrong with him. Just keep an eye on it, just to be on the safe side.

Good Luck to you.
             Take care now,
