Hi,
poor Nibbles now has a pink nose, he's on antifungal meds already, but I think this is probably another fungal thing.
He's seeing a new vet on Friday about his many health problems, but does anyone know of any antifungal cream thats ok for him
that I could get from the chemist in the meantime?
 
No sorry - hope you can get something for him. Did you manage to get the Potters Tabritis after?
 
Its best to just get him to a vet, you don't want to risk making it worse, a lot of the stuff they use for humans are very strong. The antifungal meds he's on at the moment should help :)
 
Thanks for the replies
I bathed his nose in a little salt water today & it does seem a little better, perhaps he got sore because he got a bit messy when
I was feeding him. I'll give him a bath tomorrow see if that helps.

I got the Potters thanks, he wouldnt take one today, I'll try again tomorrow.
 
Ooooh dear!
Nibbles had a bath & his nose is no longer pink! :o
Unless it miraculously healed up after his antifungal bath, I presume it came from some newspaper or something,
I do feel a fool! It really was very convincing though. :D
