I have a chiweenie and she's 1/2 Dachshund and a 1/2 Chihuahua so How do you get rid of wing worms if they continue to come back. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 3 years and 2 months old | 7.5 lbs

I'm wondering if you mean ringworm? This is a highly contagious fungal infection. When a dog has ringworm, the environment has to be disinfected because the spores will live in it for up to 18 months. If Baby Bella is continually having ringworm, it could be there are spores in the home causing her to repeatedly get it. I will put a link below on how to disinfect the home. Now if I misunderstood your question, I apologize and ask that you post again so I or another expert can help you. Best of luck. http://www.livestrong.com/article/49666-rid-home-ringworm/
