I think the dog has it now

I noticed a spot on Jasper's nose where the fur is hard and is pulling away from his skin so I suspect he has ringworm too.  It's not white and flaky like the cat's skin though, so who knows.  I'm taking him to the vet on Thursday (earliest I could get him in) but this makes me not want to be in the house because obviously its spreading.

Re: I think the dog has it now

  • I hope it's just a scrape or something and not ringworm, but if so- it's treatable. Animals get it easier than humans- so I wouldn't worry too much. Also- if you DO get it, it's faster to clear up in you than it is in the poor pets.
  • I lifted the fur and I don't see any indications of a scrape - no broken skin.  I know it's treatable, it's just a pain.  We have to give the cat an oral medication once a day, apply a topical lotion twice a day, and give him a medicated bath twice a week.  Not fun.

    i retract my previous statements about tapeworm sucking! one dosage of pills sounds so much easier!

    sorry that you are dealing with this and i hope things clear up soon for you!!
