One of my guinea pigs has what appears to be ringworm. I've done some googling and seen that other people have used Lotrimin to treat it. I wanted to check though - is Lotrimin safe to use on guinea pigs?

Yes, but put it on, very sparingly, with a q-tip, and rub it in well so the pig can't ingest it. Ringworm is also contagious and can be passed to people.
