My guinea pig Jerry...

Question
The last couple of days i have noticed a rash like circle on his right side,kind of like a ring worm, its been getting bigger since then and he has also been bleeding from that area, and i don't know if its from scratching or something else but if you could answer this that would be great. thank you

Answer
Hello Marilyn,

It sounds like it is actually ringworm. I would be very cautious touching him and he needs to see a vet to confirm that it is in fact ringworm and get treatment. Treatment comes in several forms (antifungal creams, ointments, shampoos, etc) and the vet will tell you just how to use the one he gives you.
