meixin..Welcome..u may post ur GP picture let us see
what is ur GP breed and where u bought ur GP

This is actually considered a really bad case of fungal infection.. It could be ringworms too but ringworms are hardly found on GPs. I hope you dint simply apply human antifungal cream at first because not all human products are safe to be used on GPs.

Some prevention that could have been taken care of is through poor diet. Keeping the GPs surroundings not too dry, and not damp either can do a lot to prevent fungal infections from happening. Regular bathing with good moisturising shampoos and conditioners will maintain healthy coats, but it is important not to do this too often, monthly is fine, or you will strip too much of the natural oils from the coat. When its cold, be absolutely certain the pig is properly dry before returning him to an outdoor cage.

Which vet did you take it to? And what was it diagnosed with.. fungal or ringworms? If you have other GPs.. better seperate them asap! Also.. i think we mentioned before in the previous version of GP corner.. PET SAFARI SELLS THE WORST TREATED GPS!!! And the shop keepers are NOT furnish with the proper ways of taking care or treating piggies! You should have checked thoroughly of the GP before buying it..

I think maybe you use the wrong medicine on you piggy, gp skin is fragile, can easily irritated

bad news.. my GP, Chubby passed away yesterday morning ...

meiixiin i bought my guinea pigs in Ikano too..yup they are cheap..but the truth is the heatlh of the GPs damn poor..the pet keeper in Ikano really have no much knowledge in taking care them.last satursday i went to Ikano..visit those GPs. i seem a lot GP have same infection as ur GP..i spoke with the pet keeper from there,i told them it should be giving them hay as main diet..instead of full bowl of pallet and he replied me back said if giving them hay..they will get cirit birit  

after that i realised buying GP in IKANO is not cheap..coz after bought the GP need to spend the med fees.

yup..

i want buy guinea pig..
but scare my father dont like it 

the virus spread so fast >"<!!!
maybe u can try another doctor?

actually the fungus problem need to be cure as soon as possible
for me I will take him/her go to Dr.J immdiately

hie... i bought some delikate guinea pig food for my gp in bulk (cuz wanna get it cheaper). tell me if anyone is interested ya... can share the bulk lo. just pm me.

hey..i'm plan to get a guinea pig soon...abby....
i still wanna ask somethings..
Guinea will pee without any notice?he pee on me is nvm bt if pee on my mum hand thn vry vry vry omg d...in the night gp will wheek around??

i hope its not to late to say congrats Juztiny for the cute babies i have 2 news frm my pets, 1 bad n 1 good....

bad news is....kumo-chan my baby white abby left us last nite around 11pm...she is very weak...she refuse to milk n eat, and i never know why....I'm so sad of her leaving when i held her in my hands, i almost couldnt bear it...

i suspected that she is blind, she have difficulties milking n finding her mom, (i dunno her sex but i just suspect its a she) and she didnt eat unless i encourage her slowly to chew...i tried my best to save her but....may kumo-chan RIP

the good news is, my other GP Cyndyquil gave birth to 3 VERY energetic    babies 7th May around 11pm. i didnt expect she'll deliver anytime soon (i miscalculated....) and almost got a heart attack when i saw her first baby pop out while i fill her feeding bowl. as i observe her delivery was very fast n she looks like very experienced. the 3rd baby is very weak, i did the "spin" technic to help clear the fluid stuck in her, and now she is is running n jumping with the other 2, haha so glad all of them are safe 

the 3 kids start eating n exploring the cage already...they are very active n jumpy, really different from Yui's babies...they grew very quickly too~! and their colors are nothing like their mom or dad, 1st is beautiful broken reddish brown n black color, 2nd is reddish brown, 3rd is all black..all of them is abby will post pics later ya

I might have missed this meiixiin, did u straight away give the oxbow? Or did you give it with old pellets? Coz GP take time to adapt to new food. You will need to mix it with old pellets for first few feedings is 80% old pellets and 20% oxbow. Then you slowly cut down the old pellets until 100% oxbow..

We don feed our pets whatever they like, we r the owner, we nid to do proper research what is good for them, then slowly intro to them with patience and love...

Miko is so cute~! Jason dun be sad, Miko is fine up there 

here's Cyndy's babies~! They'll be 1 week old by tomorrow, now very active, and very cooperative n freindly with Nao's babies which was born on Tuesday 12th May. Cyndy help alot on guiding Nao how to raise her kids too, she is such a lovely n warm mother. Now Nao is capable of milking and taking care of her own kids, thanks to Cyndy~!

The orange one is the redish brown i mentioned earlier, as she grow the shade of its fur become lighter until look like orange. I called this kid Simba, coz the fur looks like lion  The pure black kid i call Kuromi, and the mix orange/black i call Leon. until now i still cant be sure of their gender...coz their genitals looks the same wor....

Will post Nao's kids next, maybe by next week, for now enjoy

Chill relax. I need to finish work first, measure the stuff tmr. build the leg of the cage using cube then only start work on the cage itself.

It's going to be a lot of work...
