My experience with ringworm
Fungus is nasty, I did not have an occurance of it until my 5th year of breeding. It spreads quickly, and is a pain to get rid of. Most often it occurs when you have a damp year, poor air circulation and stressed animals. It is most likely to show up in babies. In the case above, this male had contracted it as a youngster in the breeder's herd, and the stress of a new home (and unusually wet year) caused him to have an outbreak. He spread it to a good 1/3 of my herd, many of which had absolutely no contact with each other. I simply assume they were also stressed by the unusal storms and chaos of rearranging the room.
Facts about ringworm or 'Dermatophytes'
Ringworm travels via spores and is found in soils worldwide. It has thousands of different strains and some can be carried and only appear under severe stress. Others are not transferable between species and do not affect humans. Each outbreak is different, some types can be seen with a blacklight, some can not. Some strains are also known to be a systematic infection and may need antibiotics to help get rid of it.
Getting rid of Ringworm;
Over the counter medications do not kill fungus. They inhibit it from growing, so over the course of 6-8 weeks your immune system takes care of it naturally. You need to remember that the currently infected area is the ring around the bald patch it causes - so when using a cream (not recommended for chins) make sure you smear it a good 1/4-1/2" outside of the patch you see. I used Lamotrin when I got it from the chins. Strangely enough I got it in the middle of my back two months after the first outbreak – an area that the chins had no contact with. It took the full 6 weeks to go away.
If you only have one chin and are not worried about it spreading, you can use Tinactin or an equivalent powder in the dust bath daily. Make sure to use new dust and wash the container frequently. I'd say do it every time, but if you are not sterilizing the cage every time the chin dusts it defeats the purpose.
There are a couple of ways to get rid of fungus in your herd. One product is Captan, it is illegal in some states so it may not be available to you. I used it on my animals when I realized that the generic things were not working. It kills the fungus immediately and if you keep the environment clean you will see fur re-growth within 3 to 5 days.
Captan has several downsides; It is a known carcinogen, it can be fatal, and in the type I used (Captan WP/50) will cause irreversible eye damage as well as a multitude of other issues. I diluted it to 5% (2.5 cups dust to 1 tsp. Captan) and wore protective gear. I did not enter the room for a couple hours afterwards, left the window open and my HEPA filter and fans going. It did its job. I would not recommend using it in your house.
You can also use sulfer (flowers of sulfur) in the dust bath. Powdered sulfur is used in making soap and absorbing/neutrilizing chemicals and can be found at old-time drug stores or ranch supply stores. I've found it to be very effective without the hazards of Captan. I dilute it 1TBS to a pound of dust.
More recently I've been using a granulated stall freshener called SweetPDZ in the cages to help keep my pans from rusting (and the chins love to dust in it). It appears to have some anti fungal effects, when I started using my spring fungus cleared up and has not been back in six months despite extremely humid conditions at times.
