Going to see the vet tomorrow with a few of the boys. I emailed her the article so I will see what she has to say.Very interesting .... did you treat your rats for it?

I actually saw the phyician assistant for two months, but I cannot tell you how many times I told her we have rats and every time I get scratched they swell up and look infected. I tried to show her just to continually be dismissed. I see her again on the 11th cannot wait!Wow - those are some nastie pics there!
That is NOT the ringworm that I am familiar with. I agree / and I also do not think it is ringworm. A dermatoligist should know a presentation of ringworm. It's only been around for a million years!
Ha ha, WE have to dip them! Apparently its only once a week. We have been using cream for us, I resently started oral meds since the cream isn't curing me....Holy cow! That sucks! I've had ringworm once or twice myself, too bad it takes so much to get rid of it on the ratties (when I had it I just had to rub some OTC cream on it like twice).
Good luck, I'm sure that'll be a crazy day. Very curious on how they will dip them.
Damn, gonna have to get up early for work to get that done! How many?
dspch, my uber hippie foster-mom sucessfuly treated ringworm on a girl's forehead with food-grade hydrogen peroxide(hydrogen peroxide that has had all the additives removed, by freezing the bottle upside down and then draining the remaining liquid that is pure hydrogen peroxide).
That's all the advice I have!
do you see marks on any of them?
I found this and it says to towel dry them, where the directions say to let them dry. I would prefer towel drying since I think the fuzzies will take awhile to dry and I don't want them licking it since they cannot vomit should it make them sick... Oh this is going to be fun.... Dipping the nakies is going to be like coloring easter eggs...
