I have noticed 3 of my baby guinea pigs and fungal or ring worm. They are 4 weeks old. Iv been treating with canesten fungal cream which was recommended by others. Which has worked great so far. But only noticed the 3rd one with it today. Iv applied the cream to her back where it is. But it's under her eye a little but too. Not much but it is there. I have ordered F10 disinfectant and also F10 shampoo.
And Imaverol which I'm hoping will arrive today. My question is.. how to bathe when it's around their eyes? I'm guessing I have to keep away from eyes? Also they boys are indoors so.easy to bathe.. the girls are all outside in my Guinea pig shed so it would be too cold to bathe them with this cold weather.. what's best to do with the girl who is outside in the shed?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Has a vet given you a diagnosis and has the vet prescribed these treatments? Please do not use any treatments on your piggies unless a vet has told you to do so.
Is your shed heated? It’s too cold for such young piggies to be outside without heating so I would not be bathing them due to the cold temperatures if that is the case, nor without vet advice and having the vet informed of the fact they live outside. Potentially moving them indoors while they are treated (and for the rest of the winter so to not expose them to fluctuations in temperature)
