Guinea pigs who are infected with ringworm may have red, scaly skin that is very itchy. Ringworm can be spread to other animals by contact with the fur or skin of an infected guinea pig. Treatment for ringworm usually involves topical medications and a combination of antibiotics and anti-fungals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
