It has been a long time since I had reason to post or visit the site. My fosters turned into my piggies and we just celebrated our 1 year piggyversary.

I noticed today a bald spot on Henna. None of them have been doing any excessive scratching and it doesn't appear to be injury based.
Thinking maybe a fungus. Any thoughts?
I plan to treat with some antifungal cream.
Welcome thoughts Bald spot
 
Sounds like a plan to me. Apply the cream sparingly with a q-tip and rub it in well. And I wouldn't handle her with bare hands -- fungus is contagious.

See https://www.guinealynx.info/fungus.html for more information.
 
Update.
Cream is working.
Hair is growing back.
 
Great! Glad to hear it!
