Ringworm is zoonotic meaning humans can also contract it from animals. I would suggest using gloves whenever you are dealing with ringworm in any type of pet :).
Yep my chinchilla gave me ringworm I was so embarrassed
@@sharkeishatwerks1731 my
Guinea pig also gave me ringworm worst day of my life, it took so long for it to go away
lmaoooo i got ringworm #regrets
Thanks for saying this. I was about to mention it was zoonotic but I'm glad someone beat me to it.
Yeah when I was younger my guinea pigs gave me ringworm and it was so embarrassing 😅 took weeks to clear up as well
Winston escaping was one of the craziest things I‘ve ever seen with piggies! He‘s a daredevil! Also, his friend watching his escape longingly was soooo! funny!
He’s ALWAYS this crazy 😂
Winston deserves his own reality tv show he’s so darn hilarious 😂
Saskia says that soap doesn't burn their eyes. Scotty says it as well, when I give my girls baths I always wash their face but I keep the water away from their nose. I will just use my hands.
Get well soon! 🍀 You're basically leading my life. 🤣 I will send your videos to everyone, who ask what I'm doing all day. People underestimate how much empathy, time, treatment, endurance and quick thinking and background knowledge guinea pigs need. You're very informative and skilled. And absolute realistic, but still a very, very sweet and joyful channel. ❤️
I know, I'm addicted to his channel too! I don't even own pigs but it's so interesting to see how they are cared for!
Winston deserves his own enclosure after that performance!
😍 OMG I AM SO HAPPY I JUST FOUND YOU!!!! This is my Heaven💕 I have Two males, around 5? They are the loves of my life, 😂 We are moving in three months and I plan on adding a buddy or two, so I am bingde watching piggie videos, just wanted to comment and show some love!!! Off to watch your vids, SENDING YOU MOUNTAINS AND MOUNTAINS OF LOVE GORGEOUS!!!💕
It's Nurse Austin... your nursing the piggy's back to full health to get rid of ringworm! You are doing a great job pigdad
I literally SCREAMED when Winston broke out 😆
Such a bad boy! 😂
you are the best person for looking after these piggies, just know that they love you from saving them from horrible owners
Im one because I got them for Christmas
Winston 😂❤️ I don’t have Guinea Pigs, but if I ever did I would want one of them to be a Winston. Keep me on my toes. Lol
I love that you show even those "not-fun" part of having pets. Taking a good care of a pet takes a lot of work, time and care. There would be less neglected and abandoned animals if everyone could see that. :)
Great ways to keep Guinea pigs healthy.
I don’t know how I came across your channel but I do love how you care for your little piggies. I’m so glad I found another Pettuber that I like
😊
My guinea pigs also had ringworm. We took them to the vet and they recommend the same thing. But it will look like it will get worse then better. It took about two months for them to get better. Just make sure that their cage is clean. Hope this helps!
I use a washable cotton human incontinent bed pad with a waterproof backing under everything. They come is several sizes.
Omg We just finished our treatment for ringworm (2sphynx cats and myself). I love the fact you are so open about it, more people need to know this is so contageous for animals and humans! Because we got it from a friends house (6animals) and they laught with the fact that I immediately quarantined the cats and started disinfecting every single thing in our house. I hope your pigs get the all clear soon!
Winston's 'jail break' was hysterical.
I have used the Davis shampoo on my dogs and it doesn't sting the eyes, I know because my dogs are really good at sharing their bath with me as an unwitting party.
That bath session was epic . Well done wrangling all of the girls. So cute watching them have a bath then a blow dry...
You're such a beautiful piggy dad, you take such good care of your fluffy kids. Well done
❤️🐷❤️🐷❤️🐷❤️🐷❤️🐷❤️
Lol, omg! I freaking LOVE Winston
You washed them all with love!!!! 😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤ You are so gentle with them. I love seeing that
The pigs look so cute and nice after their blow dry!
you, little adventures, and it's pigs are me favorite guinea pig UA-camrs you guys have helped me give my pigs the live they need and they are so happy after I have learned everything from you guys I will always be a fan ❤️ ❤️
Hi Osten,
I used a soft baby toothbrush to get the shampoo in difficult areas such as around the eyes, nose & between the toes. You can also use the toothbrush to rinse out most of the soap by brushing the fur downwards and away from the eyes. Best to set them down in the sink with one hand firmly on their back and then you gave more control over the toothbrush whilst cleaning the delicate eye area. Hope that made sense and helps with the process. Lv J xx
Winston at the start was so funny! You are a fantastic guinea pig dad, I always look forward to your videos ❤
Your so funny 😂😂 the struggle with the male piggies are 😂😂
Winston 😂😂 I also have a Winston, but my Ollie is the one that would take the grid down and hop out! (He has jumped out of cage PLENTY)
I have one named Ollie!
My girls name is Teddy to and when I first got her I gave them each bath and by the time i was done bathing Teddy i was all wet aa well, Teddy kept trying to climb up me I felt so bad for her but new that after rescuing them from the woerst cage they needed to be cleaned, Saskia says that they will automaticlly close there eyes as soon as you go close to there eyes with anything ao I think that if an accident happened you would have a chance to remove it from her eye before it got into her eye
That was an AWESOME video
catch of Winston ESCAPING!!
Hi I'm getting 2 pigs for my birthday and I was wondering if u can please make a video about how u wash ur fleece😃
Skinnypigs1 ans I believe Scottys animals have videos on that.
I have a video on my channel about how to wick fleece! It’s called “HOW TO USE FLEECE FOR GUINEA PIGS” ✨
I didn't know that sorry Austin
Terramycin I swear by it I use it on my foster cats/dogs and strays. You can also get it at a farm/feed store I get mine at tractor supply there it's $22.
Winston is such a character
Something that could potentially be easier for drying the piggies is getting a small wire cage and have a cage dryer so the piggies can move around in the cage, it gives plenty ventilation and might be less stressful on the piggies since their not up high on a counter since I know piggies are prey animals and prefer to be down low and not up high. Hopefully I'm making sense.
I have an Abyssinian pig named Winston who too has jailbreak on his mind 😄
Winston said “JAILBREAK!” 🤣 and got caught immediately 💀😩🥰
Epic moment with Winston.
They are all so adorable! It reminds me back when I had two Guinea pigs named spaz and buttercup. The reason why I named one spaz was because she didn’t like anyone touching her it took her a year or so to get used to me. Buttercup however she was the cutest. From day 1 when I got her she trusted me right away and wasn’t skiddish at all
Hey I’m glad everything went well with the bath and making sure they are all ok! Your such a great Guinea dad when it comes to your pigs. I had a question about my pig so I noticed how she has some bald spots small ones and some white on her nose and I looked it up and I think she might have a fungal infection but she is a lone pig. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do? Anything helps thanks!
Oh my goodness, I think Winston's escape is the funniest thing I've ever seen in a guinea pig 😂
Austin is the best piggy dad
I love your guinea pigs so much!❤️🥰
Bless that first one! She reminded me of my little girl Chippie, she always jumped jumped jumped during her bath!
Recomendation: you should slather everything to kill the spores. Also need to wash feet very well as that can be where the fungus can live and transfer and retransfer on the the face when they self groom. I like how gentle you were with them.
live video with Kyle was so good
What a job! They sure keep you busy!
You are a fantastic pig daddy, your pigs are very very important to you, I just wish everyone was the same! 🇬🇧❤️
For around the eye I would just use hypochlorous acid (I think 0,01 or 0,02 %) I use it in myself and all my animals, even in the eye itself. Completely safe and a game changer for caring for small wounds, fungal infections etc.
It probably started on the feet and spread to the face. Fungal around eye usually needs an oral antifungal from the vet.
Ah, yes ringworm.
When I took over care of a bunch of young guinea pigs, they all had ringworm. I ended up having to go with Itrafungol oral treatment as they had spots everywhere and nothing else seemed to be helping. Some of them also had it around their eyes and in their noses, and the shampoo bothered them. I have to say the oral treatment was far easier to make sure they were all fully recovered with minimal stress with so many infected. I believe they contracted it from their mothers after birth as they were not from an ideal situation. I felt stress was a huge part of it. I also cleaned my cage and fleece for a year with F10 to make sure I nuked any spores, probably overkill. To this day, more than 2 years later, I have had no more issues.
The great thing was that my significant other, who never had pets until me, really learned to love the piggies as well and now spoils them worse then me after the bathing of so many.
So are your piggies squeaky clean or wheeky clean?
Hi! I know this video is older, but hopefully you see this and can shoot me a reply- I am wondering how you handled/sanitized the wood hides and tunnels? Or did you throw everything wood away and buy new ones? Appreciate your video and time :)
I love those fold out little pens. I just use my hampers.
What did you use to clean your cage? Did you use anything special on your cage or bedding?
Winston I so funny he’s like my bun Salem she escapes everything 😂 when I got her she jumped out of her pen that night and my adult bun willow never jumped out so idk how she did when a tiny little baby she also loves to dig so I gave her a dog box and she’s a lionhead mix so the bedding in it gets in her fur and goes everywhere and makes a huge mess but she loves it so much I can’t take it away 😂😭
Thank you for your video.
You should do a video where you wash all you’re pigs
Winston is gangster ! 😎
😂😂😂
Please keep us updated!!! I'm dealing with my newly adopted guinea having ringworm on his eye and ear too
Will do! She is doing very well so far and the ringworm seems to be clearing up fast. No more crust around her eye, just bare skin.
Love Winston! He reminds me so much of my young boy😂 I’d like to add that I know bathing the piggies can be scary if it’s not something you do often or have done. The shampoo you use is my personal favorite! It will kill any spores on your piggy thus making it important to wash and scrub around those cute lil ears, down the bridge of the nose and cheeks! You really wanna scrub in the toes,under arms and belly as this is where the spores like to hide. Saskia and ‘@Scottysanimals’ from LA guinea pig rescue have some really great in-depth videos on ringworm care!
Im sure this sounds like a dumb question, suppose my Guinea was to get fungal foot, would i just bathe them with the miconazole shampoo and then apply a little tolnaftate on their foot?
Hello I was wondering when your Etsy shop will be back up?
What do you do wuth there grass / wooden balls and hides as you can’t really wash them. I just spent a fortune on my guineas I’ve rescued and they have ringworm😩
Awesome video. I love your videos. My piggies are do for their baths and I need to give them a bath. Some of my piggies like baths and some don't but they all don't like to get dry with the pet dryer❤😍
Recently came across your channel , loving the content your piggies are adorable 🥰
Can baby guinea pigs bath? Mine are like 5 weeks old , but momma pig got ringworm so i am worried of the babies getting it .
Awww poor babies 😊😩🥰
How often are you washing and applying the cream for treatment of ringworm?
Is teddy calm
I have the same nail clippers for my guinea pigs
When will your Etsy shop be back up?
Hello, i’m from France and here i can’t find terramycin so where can i buy it? It’s sold out with your link...😢 thanks for your help 😉🙏🏻🐹
Do you have any suggestions for how to get your pigs to not go under their fleece? Mine go under their fleece within 5 minutes of me cleaning their cages. I love your videos! They’re so informative❤️
Do you have other hides for them to hide in? Or specifically hides made out of fleece? I know a lot of ppl who use just fleece on top of towels etc. will cut the fleece so that they can use binder clips to clip the edges to the sides of the coroplast. Just a few suggestions, hope they help!
For the shampoo is that only for like fungus things and if not what shampoo would you recommend for my skinny pig and my hairy pig 🥰
Hum what is the White thing in the box?
Hi I have a Guinea Pig a female her name is Pixie. I adoption her and a male name was Pablo. Pablo past away and I was crying for him. But Pixie have her only. Every morning I give her veggies. For later I let her free to walk around my room but I watch her so she doesn't bite any cable. She adult just like Pablo is adult. I love all your videos that you make. May be glad to watch see others do for thier animal. I have Yorkie name Tiffany she 14 year old. We got her 1 month old. Have a great day.
Such sweet babies. That hay is amazing. I know you get it at a local farm, but do you know if they ship? I'd love to get some of that.
Does the cage next too theirs need done as well since noses can touch or no?
Love your video ✨💖
Omg, the way Teddy looked into the camera was like „whutttt!?“
😂
How Ofen do you bath them with ringworm?
am i a guinea pig owner? no
do i watch these videos because i love guinea pigs? yes
Same 🤣🤣
Same here
I loved the video! Super informational, however I do have one question. I heard Neosporin is toxic to piggies because it contains the ingredient Bacitracin. But I’m not sure if this is true or not and Im hesitant to add it to my medical kit
Це самі щасливі свинки, їм дуже пощастило 👍
ahhhh i love ur vids!
where can i find terramycin? we have a bunny that always sticks her head inside the hay bag and gets hay sometimes stuck in her eye and then it become swollen, the products we use work butttt i heard terramycin works amazingly.
I have it linked in the description! ✨
I love how floofy they look when they are dried with the hairdryer , so floofy
I'm surprised you don't have them ziptied as well as using the connecters?
if he ziptied the top grids on his lower cages he wouldnt be able to clean them...
@@autumngrace. I completely didnt' even think of that fact, for a moment I forgot that they were double stacked cages with the grids thats my bad.
@@fitzguineavision you’re good!!
My twins have ringworm and now I see I should treat our piggies too! Thank you for this. I didn’t see it listed or hear you say what you sanitized the piggy pen with, can you give suggestions?
he’s said before that he cleans the cage with vinegar so i assume that’s what he used here :)
I'm going threw same thing with my rats we bought 3 weeks ago I don't see it on them but I know one at least has it cause I caught it bad. I just made them a vet appointment cause idk what to give them but online it says to clean cage with a weak bleach for ringworm.
They are all so cute! Also i bet your back hurt after giving them all a bath
What causes ringworm? Also did you do the water bottles? Is it ok to put the infected piggy back in when it still has ringworm? ❤🐹😘
Because the sight of infection is so small on Eris, I decided it was okay to put her back in with the herd. Everyone is monitored daily with health checks, every other day.
@@ThePigRoom ok thank you! ❤ I just was wondering ❤🐹😘
Winston!🤣😍
do petstores tell the truth about their age? i saw ur video right after i got my piggies from petco, i now have 3 but i saw him and felt i had to rescue him, he was so scared hes better now tho
Washing potatoes day 😊
Winston said dude I want free roam, now
i think saski also said we could use lice shampoo is tht correct or did i miss understand her?
I don’t recommend using lice shampoo unless they have lice that needs treatment. A great alternative to the Davis shampoo is just simple head and shoulders or any dandruff shampoo. It is the zinc ‘ingredient’ that you’re looking for in these shampoos to kill the spores of the ringworm. Hope this helps!
where did you get your cages from? i need to upgrade my piggies cage
You can get grids from amazon :)
Him: Using a deep sink for the bath so the guinea pigs cannot jump out…
First guinea pig: jumps out immediately and then again right after he puts her back down😂
i needed this vidoe! ty
Well done, hope you empty your vacuum cleaner don't want to push those spores into the air, thought you were not going to use it in the first place.
Winston had a jail break
