Piggy Skin Complaints

[PiggyOinkOink]

I just noticed Billy has got a scaly paw and also his pads under his back paws look a bit dry and flaky. It looks to me like fungal but would like to get another opinion. I am going to dip him in some enilconazole probably tomorrow in case. Could I get the dosages and amount again please and how often I should do it?



The other issue is that on my ex piggy Snowy, he had a few lump things matted into his fur but basically joined to his skin. One was quite large so I tried to cut it but it was as hard as a rock! I can't really do anything about it as it is still joined to his skin. I was thinking it might be sperm from the other piggies as they all tend to bother and hump him all the time and he just sits there lol ..but he has some small ones on his underside so I doubt this would be the cause. My friend has him now and he said that his other piggy had similar but he put some cream (not sure what) and eventually it got soft and came away. Any suggestions what it might be so I can let him know?

The foot could be fungal, the ratio for Enilconazole that I use is 10ml Eniconazole to 1.1 litres of warm water. Then I dip once a week. It can be used topically between dips though at a ratio of 5ml Enilconazole to 50ml water.

The matted hair I am not too sure about, it could be from one of the other pigs like you say but I think needs checking by a vet, I would say that the baldness around it does look slightly fungal though. You also need a proper diagnosis of fungal by a vet ideally for the foot.

Thanks, will treat mine with the dip and ask my friend to get his checked out.
