Gig has started scratch a lot and she was jumping and twitching and shrieking this morning from the annoyance. it definately wasn't popcorning becasue it was the same sound as the one she made when i was cleaning out her abcess. I got her out to have a look at her skin and as i lifted her fur she started shrieking as if i was trying to murder her! drama queen ! but i'm worried that it might be some sort of infection or infestation but money is a bit tight at the moment so i don't want to take her to the vets unless it sounds like something serious to one of you... anybody have any ideas? x

I would get some Beaphar spot on from pets at home or any other good pet shop and put this on her. If she has mites or lice this will kill them. It's only about £4

I think mites live on most animals but its when they are stressed or a bit under the weather the mites take hold and cause problems . I have heard time and time again that mites can't come from the hay but i have my doubts on this
