So my cheeky chunky Derek is feeling a bit under the weather trip to the vets as he was losing his fur on his back he's had skin samples sent to the lab to see if it' ringworm or not but vets is treating it as it is to be on the safe side he needs to cream on his bald spots twice a day so extra treat for my poorly Derek just breaks my heart I can' give him kisses as he loves kisses and cuddles x

Ahhh I’m sorry to hear Derek’s poorly. What a cute face he has. Hope vet confirms what it is & you get the right treatment. I’ve not personally experienced ringworm but I know it’s nasty. (Does he have a piggy friend & is he ok?) Big hugs to you & Derek x

Awwww bless u he still looks so sad still haven' got lab results back yet so I'm going to call them tomorrow I don't think it is ringworm as I haven' caught it but I could be wrong he just seems so sad he just follows Dave around and wants to lay next to him x
 
Thank you all vet has called this morning it' not ringworm thank God and it's not mites but they don' know what it is the cream they gave me have helped his hair grow back a little on the smaller bald spots but the 2 big bald spots no hair is growing back vet said to take him back if I'm still worried hmmm think I need a second opinion what do you guys think x
 
Yep second opinion is required. At least doesn't appear to be ringworm. There is a vet locator at the top of the page.
 
Relieved it' not ringworm gave them both lots of kisses and cuddles today yep going to get a second opinion there' a cavy specialist in my area going to call them today x
