Ringworm Treatment FAQ :

I took my kitten to the vet and he was diagnosed with ringworm (gross). She gave me an anti fungal ointment to use 3x daily. He is quarantined to the bathroom, but I can’t really get a clear answer as to when he can come out.
He goes back in two weeks to have a new culture done. I clean everything daily in his room and the rest of the house and the vet gave us gloves to wear while touching him. It is so exhausting!

Shelby P asked:

He has a bald spot on his head, and the vet says its a possibality that it may be ringworm.
We just got him 2 weeks ago and he started to grow a bald spot on his head. The vet said that our small dog might like him too much and lick his head a lot and watch out for that. it has been 2 days and I can see little hairs starting to grow back. The vet also said that if he DOES have a ringworm then we will see more spots on him. The vet concluded it all with a ” Give it a week and if his hair grows back, he’s ok. but if it gets worse, with more spots, etc, take him back and we will test him.” He is not acting different, always playful. I looked up a piture of a at with ringworm on googe and I saw a cat who also had a bald spot, but it was orange looking. My kitten, Oscar, just has a regular bald spot and there is no orange, just a little “boo-boo” from our 3 year old dog who may have been playing too rough. PLEASE tell me what my kitten may, or may not have.

Katie J asked:

After moving into a new house my dog started getting spots on her belly. She is an indoor puppy. I had her fixed about 4 weeks ago and had the vet look at them since there seemed to be more and she was loosing hair. The doctor gave me a lime sulfer dip and said it will dissappear. It has been 4 weeks and it isn’t getting any better! Is there something I can do to my house or to my puppy to get rid of ringworm??

Jennie asked:

Here’s what’s happening. The main scab fell off. Just pink skin now. I know I need to continue for 2 weeks per Vet orders. Question is, is the ringworm in the final stages once the scab falls off? And how much longer for hair to grow in? Thank you very much.
