PETPETRINGWORMRINGWORM
Let Your Pet Be A Pet AgainWith No Itch Or Pain
 
Pet Ringworm
Caused by a highly contagious type of fungus, ringworm is
easilytransmitted
by direct contact with fungal spores on the hair of infected animals, bedding and/or soil.
Most ringworms starts out as a tiny pimple that quickly gets larger.
As the pimple develops and gets larger, it will create scaly or crustypatches of skin and most often includes an extreme loss of hair around the affected area.
The hairs around the infected area usually get brittle because the hair shaft has been damaged by the fungus. It is not uncommon if theringworm infection is serious enough, the hair growth in that area willpermanently cease.
Pets usually itch intensely and will often bite the affected area wherethe sore is.
 
Pet Ringworm
The
sore/rash begins to change its appearance
.
The center loses the red color and a ring begins to develop with the outer edges slightly raised.
In severe cases, multiple
rashes and rings may develop that canoverlap.
If pets continue to get new sores while you are treating the old sores,which means that the pet is getting re-infected by stray ringworm spores.
Remember that
one pet can be the carrier 
of ringworm spores and
never show any signs
of ringworm infection.
If it never touches the skin, the pet will never get infected but can stillspread ringworm to other pets and people.
