Hi all!
About two days ago I took a Guinea pig I rescued to the vet for some brown urine and a little bit of swelling in his “private” area with some hair loss and mild red spots in that area. They prescribed him some fungal/bacterial medications for now and think it’s possibly Ringworm. If not Ringworm, then an insect bit him & caused his swelling & the redness/baldness.
We got a Ringworm test done so now I’m just waiting on results.
Today, I decided I’d bathe him with some shampoo that is safe for GPs as I had some time & have never bathed him because he panicked and ran upon seeing you, even a little peek.
While bathing him, I noticed he has what appears to be some bumps that he did not previously have 2 days ago in the same area on the other side & he seems a little swollen over on the other side now too. I’m planning on calling the vet to get him seen again ASAP, but was wondering if it looks like possible Ringworm to you all too? If not, what else could it be? I’ve had 9 GPs throughout all of my life (which I know is not many) but not one has ever had any sort of parasites or ringworm.
I’ve had him (and his buddy) a little over 3 weeks? Almost 4.
Sorry for such a long explanation, but thank you for your time for looking!
