Hello, I have 6 chins 3 males and 3 females. I think that there is a fungus around, ringworm maybe. One chin has lost some fur at his nose, and another one has an eye problem like conjunctivitis.
Now, is fungus has any relationship with conjunctivitis?
Of course, I quarantined both of them from the other. They are males both. I already cleaned and disinfection all the cages...hard work... and i must do it again...
I give Fuscidin Viscous eyes drops to the one with conjunctivitis, 2 times a day one drop. I give to all chinchillas dust bath every day with powder inside that has Miconazole except the one with the eye.
They have past 3 days now and the one with the eye problem seems better. I know that i must continue to the dust bathing with the powder inside everyday for at least one month. Until now, no other chin has signs of fungus ECXEPT an ear thing that 4 of the 6 things have. The two males that are at quarantine and two females, at the back of their ears and at the base to the ear where they start to have fur they have skin flakes like dandruff. Nothing else seems strange until now.
Could this be fungus? Dry skin? I have not noticed at the past and i am not sure if this was happening at the past, because now i am examining them so closely and thorough.
Any advice could be helpful for the total of my chins problems. I just hope the fungus thing to stop at 1 or 2 chinchillas otherwise i am going crazy :hair:
Thanks in advance
