Treating Ring Worm

[Vicki Buffolino]

I've been treating all the pigs daily with the drops my vet provided. Basically medicine on qtips 2 to 3 times a day and all but 1 show no lesions. The last 1 Big Blaze has a small crust above his eye still but he was by far in the worst shape with 3 lesions. I have another vet appt next Friday. We are being super careful in cleaning our hands before and after handling each piggie. Also using bleach to clean the cages and beds every day.

Hi!

Here are our ringworm tips: Ringworm: Hygiene And Pictures
Please be aware that bleach may not do the trick when it comes to disinfecting. The medication and disinfectant names we have mentioned are the most effective and the only ones we know also kill ringworm spores, which the others don't.
If you can get enilconazole online, it is mild enough to be used on babies and around delicate areas like eyes, which often tend to swell with other topical products, so you have to be very careful when dabbing them on with cotton bud.

The drops are Miconazol and are doing a good job. My vet and his brother are small animal and exotic animal specialists.
I have a bottled of dip reccomended by this site but havnt used it yet. If we have a recurrence of Ringworm it will be my secret weapoon. It cost me almost 75 dollars so I'll not use it lightly. I'm very happy with the progress made.
