My chinchilla recently got over having ringworm, so I thought. I treated it on her nose by using flowers of sulfur in her dust everyday. I think this may of dried her ears out and caused them to be flaky and losing fur, but I’m also not sure if it’s ringworm. I’ve been treating her for a while...

My chinchilla has just gotten over ringworm: she grew back all the fur she lost on her nose due to me giving her dust baths everyday with sulphur. Now that her ringworm is gone, I noticed her ears look really rough and on the back of her right ear she’s missing a patch of fur. A few weeks ago I...

After a closer look, I think her ears might just be really dry. I’ve been giving her dust baths everyday trying to get rid of her ringworm and her nose is completely healed. Do you think it’s possible that her ears look flaky/scaly because they’re dry? Also shes missing some fur behind her ear too.

How do I get rid of the ringworm inside her ears? I keep looking in/at her ears with a black light and it doesn’t look good at all. I’m not sure the sulphur is doing anything for them.

As of right now she doesn’t have any toys only a stick or two. I don’t want it to get any worse or for there to be a chance of her getting it again. I don’t think the sulfur is doing anything for her ears. They look worse but her nose looks so much better.

The fur on her nose is growing back but her ears still look infected. How will I know if the ringworm is fully gone?

I tried to put iodine on the spot by her nose but she wouldn’t let me. I’ve only had her for a little less than a month now and I think she’s still working her way up to trusting me fully. The fur by her nose is growing back but she still has a bald spot behind her ear. I’m not sure why it’s...

I just ordered the humco sulfur powder and it should arrive next week. She seems to keep losing fur even though I’ve been giving her dust baths everyday. It seems that she doesn’t even want to take a dust bath anymore. I notice her itching a lot and biting her own fur, I see a ton of it around...

Okay thank you that means I need to buy FOS. Im going to call the local pet stores and see if they have it. I have been cleaning her cage weekly with Lysol is that enough? I also wash her fleece every other day with bleach and all of her wood has been tossed. I do change the dust everyday and...

Okay thank you! And I threw away all her wood toys and I have been washing her fleece every other day in bleach. I always wash my hands after handling her, I'm afraid I'm going to catch it too. I have been using Lysol to clean the cage about once a week is that enough?

I got my chinchilla around 3 weeks ago and I started to notice a missing patch of fur by her nose. I kinda disregarded it but then it started spreading and after a little research I came to the conclusion she has ringworm. I bought Tinactin dust and I’ve been putting 1 tbs for 1 cup of dust in...
