Hi guys,
One of my Guinea pigs has a bald spot in the corner of his eye. They had trouble with ringworm before but that was usually scabby and flaky this appears to be a smooth patch. I was wonder what it was? I do still have Surolan leftover if it is ringworm but I'm not sure.

I would seek a vet visit to get a proper diagnosis and to confirm whether it's ringworm for sure. I wouldn't recommend self medicating until confirmed just in case it isn't that. 👍😁 I can't see it very clearly, but it doesnt look like ringworm to me

Thank you. There isn’t any vets that would see him at the moment and anyone the local one is almost useless with guinea pigs. The only exotic vet in the country is 6 hours away from me :(. I thought it looked odd I’d email them if I could but they don’t appear to have an email :/
 
It could be anything from nothing to a start of ringworm again - only a vet can say. Definitely don’t give any medication without a vets advice though.
