I have some house guinea pigs that have ringworm. they are on imaverol shampoo and intrafungal from the vets. The cat is also on intrafungal as a precaution. I have also come out in it and so on cream from the docs. I would like to treat the house rabbits as well and wandered if they could have intrafungal and if so what dose? Many thanks

Can rabbits have intrafungal?

Oh dear! As you've no doubt discovered, ringworm is incredibly contagious, you poor thing. I have no idea if intrafungal is an appropriate thing to use on rabbits, I'd suggest giving your vet a ring in the morning and asking them. There may be no need for you to make an appointment, they might well just be able to advise you of suitability and dose over the phone especially as they've already made a diagnosis on one of your other animals. Good luck x
