Can Vetsect Be Used On Baby Pigs?

[Kirsty]

Hi I have a 5 and half week old baby guinea pig and a 6 and half week old guinea pig. Both to which I suspect have a fungal infection, I have purchased kwench lotion for them and also vetsect, I no the lotion can but can vetsect be used on them as there still very young? also if anyone has any experience with what worked for fungal infections ect would be really helpful

Ideally you need a vets diagnoses so you know exactly what you are dealing with, you could end up treating the wrong thing

You really need a vet's diagnosis as from your other thread it looks like Ringworm and only veterinary strength products will treat it (i.e. not Gorgeous Guineas). I would ask the vet about Imaverol as it can be used on babies but you do need to know what you are treating first.

Vetsect is a very harsh product; I would not at all recommend it for babies unless specifically prescribed by a vet for a very good reason.
Imaverol is a much milder product that can be used on babies. I would also recommend to see a vet first for a proper diagnosis and age appropriate products.
