Is this a fungal infection? Advice needed

Not open for further replies.
Just checked up on him when I got home and noticed he seems to be pooing a lot, I would say more than my adult boar does and his bum was wet and I think he has dry wee and muck in his fur, I know its not just water. If he was not so underweight and already have mange I would give him a bit of a bath to clean him up but not sure this is a good idea for him.
Also just weighed him and he's 275 grams, a few days ago he was 285 grams.

He is ment to go back to the vets wednesday to get more treatment for his mange because that will be exactly 2 weeks after his first treatment. The vet said to go back in about 2 weeks.

Do you think I should take him back to the vets today, they still open till 7pm so I can easily get him an appointment.

Also he is scratching a lot.
 
Ok then weighed him again to double check and he is 275g will make an appointment to take him today. The vets I have been taking him to at the moment I think I will stay with because its a really short journey so he wont have to be in the car long and the vet is really good. Also know other people that have taken guinea-pigs there and they all think he was good.
 
Just got back from the vets and he seems ok his temp was a bit low. Just got to see how he goes and if he does not eat then I have been given some critical care food to hand feed him, also got some other pellets to see if he will eat them. Also got some baytril to appy on him next week.

I'm still worried about the fact that he is now 8 weeks old and only 275 grams.
 
The fur on his back end is no cleaner but the vet advised me to leave it be. I would not say that its really bad but there is dry urine and is quite smelly. Although the vet told me to leave it I feel bad for him, it cant be nice having smelly fur with urine in it.
 
Noticed lately his urine is white. When he pees it is very cloudy and drys on the newspaper completely white all the time. Is there something I am doing wrong, he is not getting too much veg and what he does get is good for him. Today he got a little bit of carrot, curly kale and cucumber. He always gets tiny amounts as he is really small and young.
