RINGWORM TREATMENT SUPPLIES HERE Supplies we recommend and use at the rescue www.amazon.com...
We will ALWAYS take the medical cases from the shelters and always somehow manage to have space to fit those in even if we are technically full. These boys were lucky to find there way here as we specialize in guinea pigs and skin issues in particular, and have seen it all 10 x over. We are usually pretty successful in getting really bad cases making full recoveries.

PREVENTATIVE You want to repeat Ivermectin treatments every 3 months or so. It prevents lice, mites and internal parasites. Even if you guinea pigs are not in touch with others they can still get these parasites. They lie dormant and will activate when the animal is under the weather, aging or under stress.
You can either put a drop on the ear of the injectable Ivermectin (though you don’t inject it just a pea sized drop on the outer skin of the ear) This is a great method if you have a lot of animals
You can use a horse wormer paste that contains Ivermectin and put a pea sized amount in their mouth. This is more economical if you have a small herd.
IVERMECTIN PASTE amzn.to/2NReUuq
TREATMENT Day one, pea sized amount in the mouth Day 4 pea size amount in the mouth and from there repeat once a week for 3 weeks.
IVERMECTIN DROPS amzn.to/36TH3ZO
TREATMENT Day one, drop on the ear. Day 4 drop on the ear and from there once a week for 3 weeks.
What is ringworm?
Ringworm is fairly common in guinea pigs so don’t freak out!
It is a fungus that often presents on the outside and inside of the ears, around the eyes and on the nose. Though it can appear anywhere on their body it is most often discovered in those areas. It is the same as Athlete’s Foot in humans. Ringworm most often does not require veterinary assistance and simple over the counter creams and shampoo can clear it up.
It is highly contagious however, so wash your hands after touching the guinea pig and wear an apron of some sort to prevent spores clinging to your clothing.
Where do they get it from?
They can get it from another infected guinea pig but it can also develop in a guinea pig that has not had any recent interactions with other animals at all.
They simply carry the spores with them and in times of stress or a diminished immune system the fungus can get the overhand.
This sometimes happens in a cage with two animals living together. Only one will get the fungus and the other animal remains totally unaffected. (The same goes for lice and mites)
How do you treat it?
1) Any anti dandruff shampoo like Head and Shoulders, Nizoral etc. Though if the infestation is bad we recommend buying this shampoo “Davis Miconazole” you can get it at Amazon - amzn.to/2LY7n8K
2) Over the counter medicated athlete’s foot cream
SHAMPOO - First of all wash the guinea pig the medicated anti dandruff shampoo
Put a small towel in the sink to prevent slipping and use lukewarm water, lather them up real good and let the shampoo sit for 2 minutes and then rinse.
You must wash the face and ears also. Make sure to pay special attention to the affected areas and rub the shampoo into the skin.
Most guinea pigs do not like to be bathed but this is something that needs to be done. After you towel dry the animal really well you must blow dry them. Never put a wet or damp guinea pig back in its cage.
It will take a long time before they dry by themselves. They will get catch a cold and get sick. Do this for once weekly for three weeks.
CREAM - Apply the cream directly on the affected area and make sure you really press the cream into the skin where the fungus is located. Do this twice daily for three weeks.
I have other guinea pigs do I treat them too?
Yes and no. If they are not showing signs of the fungus then there are obviously no spots to put a cream. However, you do want to shampoo them with the anti dandruff medicated shampoo to make sure they stay healthy.
You should only do that once or twice in the three weeks it takes to treat an infected guinea pig.
Do I need to disinfect the cage?
I have found that treatment of the individual animal(s) is enough. Though it never hurts to disinfect a cage. Use part water and part bleach. Let it soak for a few minutes and rinse off really well.

Shame on the person who let the little old man get in such bad condition. He deserves so much love. Thank you for taking care of him ❤
Poor things. But now in Angel Saskia's loving care. 💖💕💓❤
This makes me cry. Knowing how these wonderful creatures should be, then seeing them so lifeless and indifferent to being handled for treatment shows how sick these babies really are. I’m praying for positive outcomes for all of them. Bless all of you for what you do for these babies.
Don’t cry they there better now so there happy
Poor pigs. At least they made it to someone who cares and can help. The first seemed like such a sweetie.
💔💔 it was heartbreaking to see the older piggie...
He's in good hands
A tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Baylor Jacob Yea, I have been using Flixzone for since december myself =)
@Baylor Jacob yea, have been using flixzone for since december myself =)
@Baylor Jacob Yup, I've been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)
i don't know whether to cry, vomit or rejoice they made it to you. Thank you for all you do. Your so inspiring and teach us so much. Its far more than that though. Just thanks....... I don't have the words
I totally agree.
Saskia has an amazing soul. I just want to cuddle those piggies back to good health.
I agree too
Saskia, you are a GODSEND!!!
I agree
These poor little guys rely on us for everything, they should be eating like kings, and treated as such!!!❤️
These helpless piggies are so fortunate to be in Saskia 's care. It's terrible that they are not cared for and left to suffer in such deplorable conditions.
I am obsessed with ur channel and all ur hard work that goes into rescuing these poor babies. Sending love from UK 🇬🇧
That was so heartbreaking.:( Get better little piggies.
Thank you Saskia!! I can't wait to meet these new ones on Saturday.
Oh no, that poor baby can hardly breathe. It breaks my heart to see this. I wish I was living close enough, I'd take him in a heartbeat and make sure the rest of his life is all peaflakes and popcorning.
It's so sad that he can hardly breathe! 😪
Poor sweet babies 💗 Breaks my heart to see Issac so sick. So happy you have them with you. They are in great hands!! Thank Saskia and crew xoxo God bless you all 🙏
Poor man when he was whining out in pain it almost made me cry.
Soo heartbreaking and how can people do this to animals . They are in safe hands . Hope they feel better in future and looking forward to seeing their journey. Xx
Poor babies. I just can't fathom how you can look at your piggie and think "Nah, it looks like it's in pain, but I ain't gonna do anything about it." But now their life's gonna do an 180. Happy piggies are the best piggies.
Hi Saskia one of my piggies stopped eating, I fed critical care, softened food pellets and pureed any veg or fruit she would eat and water in between to rinse her mouth, it took nearly 3wks but we won, she is still with me now, happy and healthy💕
Poor Isaac! Please keep us updated on him and the other piggies! Saskia, you are a Godsend! Without you, who knows what would have happened to them.
That poor little second guy. He broke my heart when he was crying. I will never understand how someone can see an animal every day and not do anything about it. Even if that means surrendering the animal to someone who can. My gosh that's so pitiful
Poor little guys. So sad that someone could neglect their pet and let them get this bad when its so easy to remedy. Glad they're in good hands now.
I hope all the piggies Mack it🤞 plsss thay dserve it I have three piggies and I would take my life for them
He's very well behaved❤
Very glad you got the two abys and the crested before they got bad as bad as the older piggy or Issac. Very sad to see an older piggy suffering like that. They deserve their retirement in comfort. And poor Issac, heartbreaking. I don't know if he pulled through but at least he won't suffer anymore.
God bless you for taking such sweet care of these babies. 🐹💕
This hurts my heart so much, how can people let their poor piggies suffer like this? I just don't get it, thank you Saskia for helping all these piggies.
I'm close to speeches...but I can say a huge thank you to all of you, your work is humbling
He’s so sweet He doesn’t deserve this
you are such a biiiig blessing for these piggies. 🌸😍🌸 you are wonderful saskia!!!
The white boy reminded me of your Zwergi.
You are an angel on this earth Saskia. Seeing those poor babies looking so rough breaks my heart. These pigs are all so lucky to have you and the rest of the volunteers to do the best for them.
Poor babies 😢
It was painful to watch these poor neglected piggies. You’re doing an amazing job, I’ll make sure to leave a donation soon! Also can I just say I am really loving these kind of videos where I can see and hear Saskia just being an expert without the commentary of the one behind the camera. It’s really nice and less distracting :)
I’m so sorry about Isaac, poor guy. I’m so glad they’re with you and getting help and relief
So very sad! It literally breaks my heart to see the way these poor babies come into you and the suffering they’ve endured! Thank God for you, Saskia, and all you do to help these sweet little neglected souls! I just don’t understand how someone can do this to another living being! Thank you to you and everyone there for helping them heal!!!
Poor babies
Bless you for all you do to alleviate their suffering
Baby needs loving💖..
The poor old guy was so incredibly heartbreaking I just want to hug him and then see him all cleaned up with a shiny cost and getting lots of love 💔😢❤️
Poor things! Glad you're able to take them in. They'll be good in no time
Saskia your the best I love your videos keep doing what your doing. Your an amazing caretaker

Good luck! The last piggie, Isaac, doesn't look good and the second boy was a mess as well. At least all these pigs are now in safe loving hands.
Yes Isaac is a mess, he has a vet appointment this afternoon.
Omg heartbreaking...hope they all pull through
I am crying watching this. Thank God they are with you. I just made a little video for Nails and all the piggies. Paw prayers for all. I had not seen this yet.
Awww he's Such a good Piggy!!!
Wow he so cute
im hoping for those poor piggies to get better 💙
you are amazing .xx
I feel like our -50/-60 degree weather the past two days wasn't even as devastating as these guys.... and I can't handle animals in the cold but that Isaac just shattered my heart. Thank you team for all you're doing.
My heart just broke looking at these poor piggies 💔💔 Wish I could adopt all of them ❤️
Gotta love that 'Aby-tude'
If I could take in a few of these piggies to help the rescue center I would 😞
I'm fighting back tears watching this. It's hard to see, but it just reaffirms how important what you are doing is!!
Wow the heart you have for each and every piggy that comes to is heart warming give Isaac a special does of love for me💕
I like to spray the joints of the nail clippers with Pam cooking spray. The clicking sound of clippers can make them nervous and/Or panic.
I can't take looking at that! It breaks my heart so badly! Please Saskia, make them better! If anyone can do it, you can!
So sad they have had it rough
Thank god for the rescue ♡
Saskia, I love you so much. So grateful the piggies have you an the team helping. Xxoo
Wow, the information in the description is incredibly detailed and good. I read it all ( i seldom do that). It was really extensive yet concise. That is part of why you are so amazing and needed.
Very educational vid. Thank you!
Love the work that you do, love the videos.
I'm so hurt looking Isaac and the senior piggie, they both look really sick and in pain. I wish the best for them to feel better soon and recover 😭😭😭😭
It pains me to watch, but I know they are all in good care now that they are with you. 💕💕
Some people dont deserve to own animals. You are doing such a great job xx
This just kills me seeing the abuse and neglect these poor babies. I’m hoping the last piggie lives a good long life
it's heartbreaking to see the condition of those poor piggies
I felt so sorry for the second piggy. All of you who work here are amazing people.

Saskia am so happy you are there for these piggies in need. 💕
The ones in such poor condition breaks your heart and makes you. Wonder how people can let animals go so far gone. At least your here to balance it out even though it must get overwhelming.

Thank you Bryan for getting the piggies and bringing them to get help
Thank you! Bryan is an amazing volunteer always helping out with transport. There are days that I see him almost daily.
Poor little guys, thanks God they have you, God bless you. I'm learning how to take care of my 2 guinea pigs, your videos are so educational. Hope that they'll get better soon!
Thank goodness you're here for them. This is so heartbreaking.
So satisfying to see them getting everything fixed. It's like going to a salon! Lol...
In a way yes .. haha
I have to say this video came in very very handy as my skinny pig Harry needed this done and I learned how to clean him etc. very helpful thank you 🙏
