Early signs of fungal?

[florna]

I think my GPs might have the start of a fungal infection on their feet

Sybil's are worst and she has crusty ears too. Jovie has signs of dry feet too (please see pics).

What's the proper way to treat this? There's a lot of conflicting advice out there.

I tried to gently clean Syb's ears with a cotton bud this evening but it was impossible. I could deal with her wriggling, but she kept ruffling her fur so I couldn't stay on her ear for long enough to make any impact. There's cream coloured crusty build up in here ear crevices and little black dots on her ear skin too :/

She does have a saw dust allergy so wonder if the poor baby just has sensitive skin. She also has some Teddy on her, and apparently they're prone to crusty ears.

What should I do? Will this be painful for them

Sorry, here are photos. Hard to see but their feet are definitely looking dry and Syb's ears are worse than they look on the pic. Their nails need clipping too I know.

I would recommend you have them seen by a vet for diagnosis and treatment. We don't advise at home treatment. All the best, I hope they're okay
More experienced members will be along later.

They've also been sneezing since I got them just under 1 month ago and just found out that's a problem too...I got them from a vet who runs a rescue so didn't think there could possibly be anything wrong with them :/

Please do see a vet for diagnosis and any treatment. Please do not use any home treatments.
The fact they came from a vet does not mean that there isn’t a problem.

Will do, thanks for your replies. Won't try any cleaning or treatments and will phone vets as soon as they open.
