ring worm

[iluvdutchrabbbits90]

I have a baby 5 week old bunny with ringworm.Mother does not have ittho.Vet said it is 100% for sure ring worm. She is just not sure what to treat such a tiny young baby with? What do we use? Its on her nose and around her eye. How she got it i have NO idea.

I would clean the area daily with a serious cleaner, like diluted betadine or a chlorhexidine scrub. Those are ok. Also, it's probably ok to treat the baby with a topical antifungal like miconazole or ketoconazole, as long as you make the dose appropriately small. I'd actually put a good dab of one of those on there and let it sit for 5 min without the baby licking it off, then wipe off as much as you can to limit the amount she ingests.
