Good thing my boys are cute because they have been so much trouble lol...
Okay, so I posted here over a month ago because I noticed scabbing on my rats. Most people thought it was rat mites so I ordered Kitten Revolution, but by the time it came in the scabs had all but disappeared.
However, about two weeks ago I noticed a circular scabby rash on my back. I've never had ringworm before but it sure seems like that is what it is. I've been treating myself with an antifungal, but it doesn't seems to be helping... (Been almost 2 weeks). I'm going to the doctor on Thurs.
My question is, can ringworm in rats just randomly clear up? I just took all three out of their cage and felt down their fur has best I could, but only felt a tiny scab on one which was probably from play-fighting. The scabs like they had before are gone (over a month ago.)
Is it possible these were just two separate issues? I just can't figure out where I would have gotten ringworm from. A bunch of other people have handled my rats and none of them have any issues.
I don't want to take my boys to the vet because they don't have any obvious clinical signs.
I'm kind of freaking out about getting an outbreak of ringworm haha...
