Maisy's Ear Problem!

[Maisy and Poppy]

I looked at Maisy ear and she seemed to have some crusty stuff on the top of her ear hidden by some of her fur. I am so worried!
Is it urgent?

I would make an appointment for tomorrow if possible or at least this week. It is not a matter of life and death. Keep an eye on it so you can see whether it is spreading.

 

[Maisy and Poppy]

Thanks, I am going to keep an eye and make an appointment tomorrow afternoon.

I think it might be ringworm as there is a red spot on one of her ears!

Here are our tips for ringworm; please see a vet for confirmation and do not treat on spec.

I think she does have ringworm! Pics are very useful! Going to the vets 4:30 today! What treatment do piggies usually get?

 

[Maisy and Poppy]

I think it is an abbcess?

Took Maisy Moo to to the vets turns out her ear problem was because of the mites. The vet gave her an injection and she squealed (poor thing)but I am so glad it is not anything serious!Phew!
