My white guinea pig Winston has crusty ears and I looks sore it there anything that I can put on them to stop them from getting crusty again.

Hi! Could you please tell us which country you are located in?

It sounds very much like fungal; please see a vet for appropriate treatment.

I am located in Devon

I will book an appointment with my vet to get it treated

Sadly our piggy savvy vet locator is still out of use since the move to a new forum provider last night, but I am tagging @sport_billy for you in case you need a good vet.

OK thanks I have booked an appointment with the vet, to see what they say ! Thanks for your help ;-)

Here is our fungal thread; we recommend imaverol/eniconazole dip, as it is comparatively mild, but very effective and can be used for very young piggies as well as in sensitive places like next to the eye or on the ears.

Vets is a good idea it could be fungal or it could be simply crusty ears which hibiscrub is good for cleaning them with
