ringworm

I believe my female guinea pig, Mila, has ringworm. It started as a bald patch on her nose. After applying Beaphar anti-ringworm spray, it has turned into a red sore. Please see the attached picture for reference. About five months ago, she had ringworm on her ear, and the Beaphar spray cleared...

Hi all, I'm battling ringworm with my two pigs (who have also passed it to me, yay!) We visited the vet as soon as we'd caught it and on advice, have been treating with malaseb regularly. One pig is looking great after 2 weeks, who caught it off our first piggy. First piggy however just keeps...

hi! both of my guinea pigs have ringworm currently, and the vet recommended bathing them with the special shampoo stuff atleast twice a week and letting it sit for five minutes before rinsing. so today i’ve given them their bath but i messed up! i was running between my room to clean their...

Hi, I got my skinny pig 2 days ago and noticed her skin has dry patches. I'm worried that it's ringworm so have been washing my hands and haven't introduced her to my other 2 yet. Sorry the photos aren't great, she's very nervous. Does this look like it could be fungal? She had little...

Hi everyone, I can't believe the bad luck with this piggy! We've been battling bladder stones and sludge since february almost non-stop, at least it appears that last friday he peed out the last sliver that was causing him bloody pee (x-ray shows no more stones or sludge). So a huge thank you...

Hi hope you can help. I'm going to try to get to a vet tomorrow but am aware it's a bank holiday weekend and if we can't get an appointment until next week we might need to do some intervention sooner... one of our 8 month old girls has a pale patch on her nose that looks from googling like it...

Hey guys, its been a few months since I’ve posted. Recently, I’ve somehow contracted ringworm. The spot is right underneath my elbow, on my right arm. I did not realize this until late last night when I was very itchy and applied lotion all over me. Now that I know I have ringworm, I have...

Hi everyone, I hope this post doesn't come across as too stupid and if it does, please be kind. I bought two guinea pig over 2 weeks ago, and I didn't realise that they had ringworm. I took them to the vet because I'm new to keeping guinea pigs as an adult so I'm not too experienced in this...

Hi all, One of my girls was just diagnosed at vets with a decent case of ringworm. She doesnt seem to have missing fur yet just crust around nose. Her cagemate isnt affected much, just a few spores. He prescribed Melaseb for them both to be bathed in once a week for a month. He didnt want to...

My new baby I have had for a week has a crusty spot near her genitals and nowhere else on her body. I’m wondering if it is just a dry skin patch that will resolve on its own, cause I’ve never seen ringworm on genitals. The spot is right on her tailbone area. There is no inflammation present. She...

So Ive recently introduced a new baby pig to my two other piggies. The baby got a dry bald patch near its head which I think is ringworm and I don’t know what to do. I’ve separated my Guinea pigs for now but they’ve already been exposed. How long should I continue quarantining them? How long...

Hey, I'm back again lol. My little baby Pico has this weird white crust on his ear, just noticed it today. I haven't noticed him acting strangely though, and his cagemate seems fine. I'm not sure what this is and I'm not allowed to see a vet until next week, so I'm getting very anxious as to...

I got some hairless guinea pigs about two months ago from a seller who breeds them and one of them came with what looks like toilet paper skid marks if that makes sense on its back, I thought i wiped it off with a damp cloth but it returned one it dried but this time it was flaky I looked it up...

Hi there I rehomed 2 baby sows yesterday afternoon. 8.5 weeks. When I collected the lady said that they were born with cradle cap. She had given to Pets At Home for advice (sigh) and they advised to treat with coconut oil 3 times a day. She said it had cleared considerably since then. I have...

Hi, today I realized that the left eyelid of one of my guinea pig babies looks kind of swollen and crusty, but we aren’t sure what the cause might be. He doesn’t seem to have any problems with it, but it definitely looks like something is wrong. Otherwise, he is very healthy, eats and poops...

Has anyone used the F10 aerosol fogger in a house before please? I'm having a nightmare with ringworm. I'm cleaning with F10 and washing on 60C and doing an imaverol dip every 3 days and I've still found a new patch of ringworm and they've had 3 washes so far. I'm wondering if anyone knows what...

Hi. So my two guinea pigs have got ringworm. If I used imaverol every 3 days do I still need to apply cream etc? I've read the thread on ringworm but I can't get the oral medication from my vets, they don't tend to offer it. How do you wash them with imaverol properly without getting it in...

Hi all, I haven't posted for years and years, but I joined the form when our 2 piggies were new! Sadly Lily died a few years ago, but Petal is still going strong :nod:- she's 7. However, I took her to the vet's last week because of a bald patch over her eye for about 2 weeks. Suspected...

Hi I got my guinea pig from petco a couple of weeks ago and she started developing a scab that soon turned into a bald spot and is sort of bleeding, I’m worried and confused if it’s mange or ringworm, she doesn’t have any hair loss anywhere else but that place. I started treating her for...
