my three girls had mysterious porphy eyes, I took them to the vet and she couldn't find anything wrong but gave them baytril just in case. When I was giving them their meds one day I noticed that one of them had little scratches here and there on her neck, sides, rump, etc...nothing serious and I had to really search to find them, but I called the vet to ask about a mite treatment. She seemed pretty convinced that they were having allergy attacks not mites.
I changed the laundry detergent I had been using on their fleece to unscented hypoallergenic. I also switched from using "nature's miracle" to wipe down their cage and used vinegar instead. so far it seems to have made a huge difference. I also clipped their back nails down. no porphy so far since I made these changes! I dont see any new scratches but I'm still watching this situation.
has anyone ever had issues with nature's miracle or laundry detergent before? I probably should have eliminated one at a time to find the real culprit, but I just wanted the girls to feel better!
