TaylorF457 10 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Dog has lost a small amount of fur around the top/side of his and seems to be getting bigger as he grows any ideas what this means is. He is kept in the house and walked 2 times a day. Quote Link to post
Kate28 22 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ring worm maybe looks like its growing in a round manner, if not could be a mange Quote Link to post
TaylorF457 10 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 The chance of it being ring worm is very low as he gets wormed regular Quote Link to post

terryd 8,045 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I wouldn't delay going to the vet some of them skin conditions can be a really hard to get sorted. I had a lurcher once that had mange of some description and the vet tried every thing but couldn't cure it. Quote Link to post
Poacherspocket 189 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Humans can get ringworm from coming into things like fence posts that cattle have rubbed themselves against. I got it on my leg. Bit of cream and it was gone in a few week. Quote Link to post
TaylorF457 10 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Went to the vets with the dog the other day and they gave him basically a jab of Penicillin and a 7 day course of cream and the dogs fur has started to come back through now. Quote Link to post

I got it on my leg. Bit of cream and it was gone in a few week. i had it on my arm and wrist about two years ago and it left some pretty manky scars, took months to get rid of with 2 different creams and anti-biotics. The doc said it was ringworm but with a touch of impitigo thrown in there. not pleasent anyhow lol Quote Link to post
