hi all…..again,
So noticed that one of my girls has started to lose fur around her right eye, could it be ringworm/fungal?
Literally happened overnight on thursday so 7am friday morning was when i saw it at feeding time.
She's going into vets tonight and is well in herself.
If is fungal/ringworm would this be localised to one eye or could it appear on other parts of her body?
 
Ringworm can spread unfortunately but in some cases it can be more localised. I always recommend treating the whole pig though and not just the affected area. We recommend either the oral medication Itrafungol and/or Imaverol dips.
