Hmm i can't say off the top Of my head. But she has 1 antibiotic and 1 med for ringworm. After the visit today she gave me a different antibiotic and im supposed to stop the other 1. The doc tested for mites twice. Didnt see any but gave her a preventive shot. I also giv my male guinea pig a dose of the ringworm med every few days just to keep him good. He had ringworm first and thats why the doc thinks she got it from him
.
She gave her the same meds he was given when my guy had it. Because obviously it would be the same strain of ringworm. My poor baby...

You need to put a cream on the ringworm. Daktarin althetes foot cream works very well with ringworm. If the ringworm becomes severe you may need to use a dipping treament to cure it. BUT try the creams first. Apply it 2 or 3 times a day over the ringworm.
make sure you wash your hands before and after handling her as ringworm can effect us humans too.
