chin with scaly bumps and white dots

[melissamosh]

well my chinchilla has lost fur around her nose and has gotten a type of scaly looking infection with bumps and white dots on her skin in random places. She is losing hair there, and keeps itching. What is this?

It is most likely fungus, which is quite a deal to treat. I have a bit of info and it's treatment on my website, along with pictures of fungus: http://www.chinnation.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=9&limitstart=2

If you do a search here as well, you can turn up what you can to do treat it.

Yeah it sounds like fungus to me too.
