What Is the Ringworm Treatment?
The ringworm infection may heal without treatment in several months. Due to the fact that the fungi may be transmitted to humans, the pet needs to be treated. If you have other pets too, the infected dog should be isolated until the infection is cleared. The typical treatment of the ringworm infection is made up of topical ointments that contain fungicides. Special shampoos are also available. You should also clip the dog’s hair in the areas that are affected by lesions. The infections should heal in 2 to 4 weeks. If the dog doesn’t respond to topical treatment, the vet may prescribe additional oral medication such as Ketoconazole and itraconazole, which are approved fungicides.
