Nutmegs thread medical
I know the title says nutmegs medical thread but I know I've mentions that all my girls might have gotten it so im not going to use a new thread for chestnut because I know if I do it'll get locked etc etc etc.
OK so I checked out chestnuts ear this morning and it's not crusty just looks like hear ear is peeling. Imagine if us humans gets sunburned then we peel. Well chestnuts ear is peeling on the inside of her ear. It's not yellow and crusty. Does anyone know what this could be? I've never seen this before.

If you've treated for a week with the fungal cream and it has gotten worse, switch to a triple antibiotic cream. The problem may be bacterial rather than fungal.
Put it on sparingly and rub it in VERY well -- you don't want the pig to ingest any of the antibiotic cream.
But if it's no bigger than it was when you started the fungal treatment, then give it a while longer. It takes a long time to cure fungus. You'll know you're on the right track when you start to see hair coming back in.

@bpatters thank you hasn't been a week just a few days, I'm using location it has miconazole nitrate 2% in it. That's what I used for acorn were going to start a week day and night I have to apply it with my finger and hold her she moves a lot. Then after a week daily to do it every other day etc like I did acorn hopefully it get better. Her poor eye though

Ditto bpatters.
Is she itching it or scratching at it?
If not, it likely looks worse to you than it feels to her.
Different types of antifungals work on different kinds of fungus. Do as bpatters recommends, but if that's ineffective go to the store and try a different antifungal cream. For example, Lotrimin is clotrimazole. It's in the same family, chemically, as miconazole, but slightly different, so it will work on different fungal organisms. Most of these end in '-azole'; that's how you can tell.
Be patient and keep going. It can take a while to show results and of course it needs to be treated, but unless it's obviously bothering her, it looks worse to you than it likely is.

Little update in chestnut and nutmeg
Nutmegs eye doesn't seem to be getting worse which is a plus I keep treating it I know it'll take a while to clear up
Chestnuts ear is getting better the dryness on her ear isn't as bad as it was and her ears inside arent peeling anymore just dry. Hopefully it clears up soon so acorn can meet them.
Mocha bear showing no signs yet still fully inspecton her
