I was cleaning the ears of the pups today and after lots of screaming (dixie always has an ear infection and its a pretty bad one) Stonewall came willingly for his cleaning. I flipped over his ear only to find - RINGWORM!
Now when I showed goats in high school ringworm was an everyday occurence. I've had it about 5 or 6 times and its not really a huge deal but I don't really feel like dealing with it on myself so of course I've been washing my hands lots.
My question is this - we used to doctor ringworm with vick's vapor rub (name brand only no off brand!) and I wondered if anyone had heard of doing this with dogs? The menthol in the vicks smothered the fungus and it being such thick gel stuff the ringworm dies...
I also wondered about Tinactin considering its a fungus killer... I know my MIL dog has a fungus infection on the inside of her ear and the vet told her to use Tinactin....
Just wondered if anyone else's houndies had dealt with this lovely fungi.
