Hello everyone! I have a peculiar question in regards to ringworm and guinea pigs and I was hoping that perhaps more knowledgeable individuals could help me out.
Is it possible (or do you think it might be possible) for a guinea pig to carry the ringworm fungus and spread it to others (particularly her main slave
) but not suffer from it themselves?
The reason I ask is that since I got my guinea pig in July I've been having a re-occurring issue with ringworm (twice in the same place, but worse the second time and now a third time in a new location). I do work with animals so it is entirely possible I got it else where and am just having a wretched time with getting rid of it. My guinea pig shows absolutely NO signs of ringworm or any other illness.
Personally, I doubt it's possible but I was just curious as to other people's thoughts.
