Fungal infection?

[EmJ]

I was just having cuddles with Poppet and noticed that by the side of her mouth there is some fur matted together with what looks like dried pus, and on her nose there is a very small patch of dry flacky skin. Cant see anything on Harley or the others.
Could they have had a scuffle and he cut her, could it be dried food or poss fungal? Had a look on guinea lynx and found this.

Going to get her in the vets tomorrow/asap, just to be safe.

If it is fungal what will the tratment be? Will i need to get all 4 piggies treated?

Thanksx

well she's booked in for tomorrow. Is there anything I can do or bath them all in to help?

Sounds like fungal.
I'd give all their cages a big disinfectant.

I usually bathe my rex in Nizoral shampoo as its a anti-fungal and sometimes he gets a bit dandruffy. Leave it on for 5 mins and wash off.

Is that just Nizoral from boots/superdrug?
Going to give all there cages a big clean this afternoon and will bath the all aswell.

Yes from boots though if they ask just say its for yourself or a family member.
