Hello all

As you know my herd had ringworm. Then they gave it to me.

So for two weeks I have been handling them only to clean the cage and to finish their meds (6 weeks of Intrafungol). No cuddling. Their meds finished a week ago.

Just checked Lucky and she still has the tell tale ring where there is no fur. It was the last sign of ringworm. Now she has Pink skin with nothing flakey. No excessive scratching. No sores. Nothing.

Why doesn't she have fur regrowing?

I'm cleaning them out tomorrow and they are having their last anti fungal bath also tomorrow.

Please look at the guide; it has pictrues of how a ringworm outbreak starts runs and ends - always in the order it advances. Yours is progressing perfectly to plan. You are now past the acute stage and into the quarantine/observation stage. ;)
