CrazyCresties Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just noticed this on Daisy's tummy She had some similar looking scabs on her tummy back in the UK (which we had tested and they were negative for ringworm) but this just looks like it to me I don't know where she would have picked it up from I'll take her off to the vets first thing in the morning, but I'm really hoping it's not :D What do you think?

Kirty Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Its hard to tell. In my experience, ringworm isn't as 'hot' or mucky looking as that. It tends to be dry, scaley and bald. That looks more like a hot spot to me, but it definitely *could* be ringworm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamSnag Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Id say it is.. just cos ringworms have the crusty edges to them.. and its like a ring.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCresties Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 All clear - not ringworm and not contagious I was dreading the whole washing everything etc associated with ringworm! It's an epidermal collarette http://www.ehow.com/list_6615501_treatment...ttes-dogs_.html for which she had a topical cream to be applied a couple of time a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
