My guinea pig has bald patches on her nose and is now on her ear (don't have a picture of her ear) and idk what it is? I'm thinking it's ringworms but Idk what to do! Should I take her to the vet to be safe?

Mites can cause this sort of appearance in guinea pigs. The best medication to use to combat mites in rodents is Revolution, a drug marketed for kittens. It requires veterinary prescription to obtain, so you will need to take Reese to see the doctor before obtaining any. Hope this makes sense.
