Ringworm

viktory · Apr 30, 2009

It has been confirmed that my new bun has got ringworm (and so have I now :shock

. I am applying Surolan to him and it is clearing it up nicely so the vet is holding off on systemic medication for now.

Any idea how long I will have to keep applying the lotion for? Is there anything else I should be doing?

Pancur paste for rabbits is for worms and intestinal parasites maybe you could ask your vet about that?

I think it best that you ask the vet who prescribed it for the duration of the treatment..

The name ringworm is misleading as it is not a worm but a fungal infection..and it can be passed to humans so use gloves and check yourself for little red areaa of scaly skin...in humans Canestan cream..same as for thrush..is used

use daktarin the athletes foot spray helps clear it very quickly you just spray two times a day

you can also use a drop or two of neat tea tree oil on the affected area (on you i mean, i imagine that sort of dose might be to high for an animal as small as a rabbit)
it cleared up the case i had in about 3 days.

Just be careful as it's very contagious. You can get it as well as other animals.
