I think my piggy has a fungus! PLZ HELP

[Sophiiiaac]

My guinea pig has a bumpy white fungus looking thing behind her ear. There is some blood but I watched her for a while and she hasn’t been scratching excessively. I googled it and it said that it could be ringworm or mites? I’m not sure how to treat her and there aren’t any vets near me that are experienced with Guinea pig health So i don’t know what to do! She’s only 6monthes old I don’t want her to die!

That does look like fungal. She will need a vet for treatment.

Parents brought both my piggies back to the shop this morning ( they said they don’t cover vet fees but they will take them back so hopefully coco will heal in their care. I miss them so much tho (

Definitely a vet job. It does look like a fungal infection but please do not treat on spec and get your pig seen by a vet

I'm so sorry you've had to give up your piggies. Will they be returned to you at all when they are healed?

No I’m guessing that they’re just gonna be put out for adoption again.
