Dara Hairlosss or Rash?

Having a baby has turned out to be horrible for my pigs. Last I held Dara was about a week ago. I can't believe how fast this must have happened. What is it? When my son first saw it he thought bacterial. Mites? I don't think fungus because there's no flakes. I have the mite medicine here (can't think of the name because my baby is in the other room screaming while I try to post this). I also have Baytril. Can I put cortisone on it to sooth her or is that bad because she will then eat it?

Oh, I meant copy them to the forum so if you move the pics, they'll still display. People have found Desitin works great on urine scald. Becky posted about it.

Ouch! Sure looks like urine scald. I've used Toys R Us brand diaper creme and it works well (I didn't read the label but I would imagine that it would have a warning on it as well as the Balmex). I put on only a tiny amount. If little Gracie is taking time away from your pigs, I'll bet swannie would step into the breach for you and "foster" her while Dara heals up. j/k of course!
Desinex says the same thing about swallowing. It's zinc oxide. Check your diaper creme. I'ts probably the same thing.
I have to say, though, it doesn't look at all like Cookie's urine scald. Hers never turned red like that and the skin actually sloughed off. It looks more like a fungus (yeast?) to me.

Could scald also lead to a yeast infection? Curious if they might go together. If diaper creme doesn't help, anti-fungal might.
Here's a link to Cookie's urine scald. Too graphic to post, IMO.
