I've noticed that one of my guinea pigs has a White line on her nose & a scab next to it, I don't know whether it's ringworm as she's had the White line on her nose for ages but this scab all of a sudden has appeared!
I got nizoral today cause I read on another thread that it works for ringworm!
What do I have to do with it!?
Is there anything else I could use!?
 
I would take her to the vet first to get it confirmed, i had to bath my 6 piggies in it yesterday as a precaution as i have ringworm (from gods know where?!) i rubbed the shampoo in and left it for around 3 minutes then rinsed them throughly. if its just on her nose you could **** just use an anti fungal cream on it, but best to get her to a vet as it could be something else :)

Okay, will do!
Will ring the vets tomorrow :)
Thanks for the help
What anti fungal cream would you use!?
 
The white line is mild form of fungal; it's quite common and it is no reason for concern. I would see the vet over the scab on her nose before treating. It can have other causes than ringworm. Nizoral is quite a harsh treatment on piggy skin and I wouldn't do it unless you are really sure that you are dealing with fungal.
