Nose Strip / Nose Stripe

[Veggies Galore]

2 of my sows ( Bess and Sparkle ) are very prone to getting an "parting" on their noses - and the skin is very flakey.

I have seen a few threads on here which describe this problem ...

Fungal? Nose Stripes

The stripe on their noses...

Following the advice on these threads, @pig in the city - ( and the Gorgeous Guineas website) I am going to try a product from Gorgeous Guineas ( I've decided to try the Kwench Lotion) - but, while I wait for the order to come , I'm going to try some Daktarin.

Here are some pictures ( sorry for the poor quality) .

Bess's nose isn't too bad so, I'm going to wait for my Kwench Lotion to arrive.


Sparkle's nose has a definite parting ...

She's not talking to me - now I've put the cream on !

Yes, that is a typical fungal strip; it is very mild fungal, so no worries about catching it.

Yeah, we have had this once it cleared up with some cream.

If it gets very crusty l use some of the gorgeous guinea melt on it. It helps to lift the crusts off. They are still lovely, stripes or not!

Oh yes - they are lovely - that is true

We have a couple with this too, we are using Canesten. They both arrived with it.

I've found surolan ear drops for dogs and cats applied topically to be brilliant with mild fungal spots (it's anti fungal). It was prescribed by a piggy savvy vet when Poppet arrived with fungal on her nose, under her eye and on her ear edges and I was sceptical but worked a treat applied 2x a day for 10 days
