Baby Guinea Pig With Crusty Naval?

The patches on the feet do you mean? Are you in the UK?
 
I am in the UK yeah - There is a fairly large hairless patch on his tummy that was scabby but isn't anymore and a small crusty patch on foot and higher on his tummy :/
 
I recommended Imaverol earlier in the thread for the original poster and I think it would help here. At a push you could use Canesten though as Imaverol would take a few days to get here. Is your pig really young though?
 
I have some canesten at home so could put that on it quite easily in the meantime. He is about 4 months now
 
I think that would be ok to use, I would recommend getting the Imaverol though as it will treat a range of fungal issues. Did I give you the link on your other thread?
 
I will definitely look that up tomorrow - I don't think I have a link, but I will look back. Thanks ever so much for the advice, hopefully my piggies will get on the mend for good soon!
 
Okay so his bald spot is getting rather large! I can't put the canesten on it as he simply won't let me, he struggles a lot. Do you think I should just go back to the vet? As it has changed I feel like when I ring her Sunday she's only going to ask me to come back anyway. I'm always at the vet they must hate me lol
 
Yes I would go back as soon as you can and see a different vet if needed.
