Flaking Skin with quills

Thank you for the update on Thor.

Another update as of yesterday...He looks better than what he did when i first brought him into the vet..(the Vet agrees and so did all the technicians that saw him..which was all six of them..) I haven't found any chunks of skin/fur with quills attached when i have been cleaning out his cage.. I have found a few loose quills but not a large amount. He is still scratching every now and then.. He had a third and final dosage of revolution applied and he is still on medication for ringworm. And thus I have to go back in another two weeks...(Starting to think they just like taking my money ><)

Another update from last thursday june 12. The vet and all the techs said that he is looking better and potentially doing better. I was told to stop treating for ringworm for the time being while they send out another skin scrapping to determine if the ringworm is finally gone! Hopefully I will find out this week or next week! Hoping for good news

Good news! Thanks for the update!

One of my hedgehogs had ringworm and it took so long to clear- it was at least 3 months before it cleared entirely.
I feel your pain- I hate dealing with ringworm.

Well as of last week his ringworm culture is still negative, so that is good! =)

I was just potentially advised to change his diet in case he has a food allergy

Welll!! Thor is officially free of ringworm and he is doing a lot better! And his quills are starting to grow back in from where he lost them! =D
