Fungus on comb

[Kaesi2020]

Hi everyone, I had tried treating my 1.5 year old EE for round worm a couple of weeks ago. I did 5 days of goat dewormer 1 ml. Each time. Her situation (white fungus) on head has not improved though and actually looks worse. Do I treat again the same way? Can I treat with dewormer for longer than 5 days? Any other treatments to go along with the dewormer? Thank you.

Dewormer won’t treat fungus, to my knowledge. You’re going to need an antifungal. Maybe @Wyorp Rock @azygous @aart @Eggcessive could chime in?

I think it is just dry skin....

I had assumed roundworm because my dog was tested and has them, the vet said most likely from eating the chicken poop in the yard.

If it was just dry skin, leave it be or treat it? Thank you.

Try an antifungal cream?

I'm not convinced it's fungal though

I just leave it, but I don't know if I'm right... maybe wait for an expert.... to give the all clear.

If favus or fungus is suspected, miconazole or clotrimazole cream can be applied daily with a glove. It may be dry skin, but the cream with not be harmful.

Coconut oil is antifungicide and good for dry comb. Good option if you don't have brand name medicines.

To me, it looks like dry skin, but an anti-fungal cream (athlete's foot cream) wouldn't do any harm.
Personally, I would use vaseline. That's what I use on birds faces/combs/wattles when they have dry skin in the winter.

She's molting too.
