so my vet is treating charlie for EC along with his wifey, Honey. i wanted to know if i should treat my outdoor pair as well?

also when do the spores die off as i usually allow a bit of free range time to both sets(although charlie and honey haven't been out since his bums too mucky and im worried about flies)?

do i need to do a special clean inside the house?

oh and can i use sudocrem on charlies urine scald?

thanks,

do i need to do a special clean inside the house? Areas that have been contaminated with urine can be steam cleaned if using a 10% bleach solution is not possible

oh and can i use sudocrem on charlies urine scald? Depends on how bad it is, if the fur has been clipped and if there is any active infection

thanks,

Thanks Jane! He had been clipped with scissors so its very short. The scalding lookd to be in the inner thigh/groin region. Its not terrible but quite a deep pink. I might just concentrate on keeping it clean and dry for now.
