Hello I need help

[Maria M]

hello I need a little help. I apoted a guinea pig for a rescue in christmas Florida. I am really concerned this is my 1st time adopted from a rescue . I didn't notice that she is missing hair in the back of her neck. I bathed her and put her with my healthy guinea pig . I notice during that 1st 30 minutes when I was supervising the interaction. I bath her righ away with antifungus shampoo. I also order ivermectin and gave her and my other guinea pig the correct fose. I am really concerned I now I know I did everything in the wrong putting togetherin the same enclose. I am not sure if she have wringworm or mites I am concerned for both of them. see pictures below. PLEASE NOT CRITICISM I ALREDY KNOW I ANS LEARN MY LEASON!

She needs to see a vet for a correct diagnosis. The hair loss, to me anyway, doesn't look typical of either mites or ringworm given the lack of dry skin or scabs you would expect from scratching.

Please do see a vet for diagnosis.

Do ensure you tell the vet you have already used shampoos and ivermectin as unfortunately using them prior to seeing a vet can mean the tell tale signs of skin conditions have been wiped away.

As it stands though they don’t look typical for mites or ringworm but only a vet can say for sure.

Hello and welcome.
Instead of worrying, I would take him to the vet to make sure everything is ok. Get help for your piggies if they don’t look right.

A vet trip is always a good idea with any concern.
You can get a proper diagnosis and treatment that may be needed.
