Ring-Worm

Post by wood-duck »

Does anyone know of an over the counter remedy for ring-worm . I have 2 new beagles that have been diag'd with ring worm . I thought it was scars on their ears . I understand it is contagious to humans as well . Dogs seem fine , just concerned for the kids & dogs . :?:

Over-the-counter anti-fungal creams generally work just fine (the name I can remember is Lotrimin AF or something). Yes, ringworm can be transferred to humans, so you may want to apply the medication with a baggie on your hand or something so that you don't touch the infection directly.
