Junior Guinea Pig
Hello,
I'm after a bit more advice please. I have now had my new piggies for about 2 months. I think the ringworm (which I noticed a month ago now), from one piggy (Ginger) has now transferred to the other (Jasmine). Its a bit frustrating as I treated Ginger with canestan for 2 weeks, then both of them with mycozole spray for 7 days and of course sprayed the hutch with anti-fungal spray liberally many times, and disinfected bowl and water bottle daily, washed any fleece, vetbed etc lots of times throughout and since treatment (they are cleaned out fairly thoroughly daily as in large hutch in an outhouse so need to keep them nice and dry and they go to the toilet a lot!)...I bought some Nizoral shampoo and thought I should try that now as I have already spent £150 at the vets and tried everything I have read on here apart from that...but my worry is that they are semi-outside. Is it ok to bring them in, bathe them and wait for them to thoroughly dry (I gather needs to be natural, not hairdrier, if you are bathing for fungal infection?) then put them back in their hutch? They have snuggle safes day and night when its cold, plus lots bedding, ples hay, fleeces etc.. Thanks very much
