Ringworm is typically treated with antifungal medication and medicated shampoos prescribed by your veterinarian. it would be best to speak with the vet that diagnosed the ringworm so that they can get you started on the correct shampoo and medication to help Chulo feel better. As ringworm is extremely contagious to other pets and people, it is best to make sure to keep him separated from other pets until the ringworm is treated, and to thoroughly wash hands, clothing, bedding, etc to avoid the spread to yourself or other members of the family.

Oral antifungal medication will definitely be required. The bathing is helpful, and decreases environmental contamination. There is also a “mousse” made by duoxo that you don’t have to rinse out- that may be an option if bathing is not. I would, however, be a little concerned about why he became so infected? Is something else going on internally that is weakening his immune system? I would recommend lab work to screen for other problems. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
