Continuing from https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/threads/124966-Guidance-on-type-of-new-brother-to-adopt
We went to the vet this morning. Maple Leaf was SUCH a good boy. He was very scared but he was still for the vet and let her examine him. We started with a Woods lamp. Ironically the big patch under his eye didn't glow, but his lips and nose did! I had no idea he was having issues there. I now have enough medication to treat him and Gimbly - itrafungol (oral) and a medicated dry shampoo (the bottle says mousse but its more like one of those waterless shampoos). He's going to have to be treated with the meds for the next six weeks...
He weighed 515 grams, and I completely forgot the vet to estimate his age. One chart online says that'd make him between 8 and 10 weeks, but idk.
I decided to cancel my appt with the shelter to test for ringworm, but I'll tell him he was diagnosed. I'd like to put this problem behind me and move on with enjoying my first ever baby pig.
Would anyone know of any pet-safe antifungal cleaners for their cage? I can get the same stuff we use at work, but I'd like to not pay $25 for it.
