ringworm

One of my piggies came to us with ringworm. The vet prescribed Surolan to put on the patches and we've been giving them both Imaverol baths. We're off to see a guinea pig specialist this weekend to get some itrafungol and a second opinion because I haven't seen any improvement (I know we should...

Hi, I noticed a few weeks back that my piggy Nymeria had a watery right eye, she tends to have that some times so I didn't really worry too much though I'd still check to see if she had a URI or something like that every day. Today I picked her up and the skin around her eye had lost a bit of...

My guinea pig has a bumpy white fungus looking thing behind her ear. There is some blood but I watched her for a while and she hasn’t been scratching excessively. I googled it and it said that it could be ringworm or mites? I’m not sure how to treat her and there aren’t any vets near me that are...

my boys have been on the treatment for ringworm. We have just started the second cycle of intrafungol. The oldest boys seem fine, no scabs now or open sores but the baby has pretty much a bald nose again and the start of open sore bits. Is this normal?

We've had a niggling case of ringworm with a couple of our piggies that doesn't seem to be going away! It keeps hitting the same two pigs - both in separate pairs. Their buddies are both fine and our other pair seem alright too (they're in the top of a double hutch with an infected pair). We've...

Hello all... I posted a little while ago about having bought 3 male guinea pigs (Sammy, Blaze and Iggle-Piggle) 2 of which were having horrendous fights. I have separated the two conflicting guinea pigs (Sammy and Blaze) and have them living beside each other in the cages... I've kept the...

Hi all, I’m new to the forum and was hoping to get some advice. My 4 year old boar Smudge has suffered from ringworm about a year ago. Over the weekend he has started exhibiting a few symptoms that make us think it may have returned (trying to groom/bite at the area & sensitive to touch) there’s...

So Rosie seems to really be on the mend! I'm treating her with the stuff the vet gave everyday but the hair is already starting to grow back, after just a week! So either I caught it super early or it wasn't ring worm at all. She's back in two weeks for a check and a mange injection but I'm so...

Our old boar died in March and so I decided in the school holidays to get some new babies as we had lots of equipment! I now have 4 small boars, unfortunately, we came down to a bloody nose which needed antibiotics so we bought a new 2 story cage to separate out the little ones until we could...

I recently bought a guinea pig infested with ringworms, this was on purpose because his owner were going to throw him away. I have been treating the fungus with Conzol 1% and started treatment two days ago. However a couple hours ago I found an odd mark on Charlie's testacies. It looks red and...

hello, I am new here. I have a long story about my new little guinea pig but I will try to keep it short, I apologize in advance lol. I got my guinea pig Leila from petco on july 3rd. (I know getting from petstores are bad, but I loved her and there are no guinea pigs anywhere near me available...

2 of my guinea pigs seem to just have a reoccurring case of ringworm. Overall, to get them sorted I've payed £400. They seem to have been free of it since Jan, but I think it may have come back. I really don't think it's anything I'm doing as I clean them out regularly, everything is...

Hi guys, I'm new to the site and I have a question about my two Guinea pigs:)) I took them to the vet 2 days ago, I knew they have a URI so I was given baytril and probiotics to stop it. I noticed they have been scratching a lot. So I asked if it was mites or fleas. Both tests came back...

2 weeks ago I bought this guniea pig today as I was giving her food I noticed this patch. I'm sure it's ringworm and I don't know what to do, I can't go to the vets tomorrow and no chats are open right now. Please help what should I do? I washed my hands and my wrists to make sure I don't get...

Hi Guys! I just got two baby guinea pigs this weekend (my first piggies ever!), Vladimir who is 5 weeks old and Prince who is 8 weeks old. The breeder I got them from warned me that Prince had been treated for ringworm as a baby but that he is now fine. I took them to the vets today for a quick...

Hi! One of my Guinea pigs has ringworm on her ear and I have bought some ringworm spray to get rid of this but I am a bit concerned about putting it on because I have often seen them grooming each other's ears and I don't know if it will be harmful if it gets in their mouths. Should I use it...

Hi, I've had my two girls (spaghetti and hoops) for about 3 months now and the youngest (hoops - about 4.5 months old) has just come down with ringworm in/on one ear (I came back from a week's holiday and noticed a tiny scab on the ear so scooted her off to the vet, was given topical spray which...

I just adopted my Guinea Pig, Cloud, last week from a pet store. The first day I noticed a scaly, dry spot behind her ear where no hair was growing. The spot is not in a circular shape, and has no particular shape. I have experienced ringworm before with my other piggy, and his spot was red...

My poor piggy has ringworm. It's been a stressful month with coming home, losing a sister and gaining a new herd member so I'm not surprised that she has something wrong. I went to the vets and she has been given itrafungal oral solution (0.19ml daily) and Daktarin miconazole nitrate cream...

I recently bought a baby Guinea pig from the petshop who I actually reported to the rspca before adopting her, I nipped back and saw the babies were still in poor condition so I took the worst one (left it 6 days and tried asking the rspca if they'd been out but they said they couldn't tell me...
