My dog has fungal infection (round or circular) on skin?

First it started near his thighs and now it is spreading to top of his body . Hair in this region is dropping followed by red rashes. Can this problem be solved and will his skin come to normal condition... he even feels itchy in this region ....

What you've described sounds like ringworm. Get an anti-fungal treatment from your vet. Be careful, ringworm is very contagious! Keep him away from other pets and children, and do not let him on your furniture.
Reply:Uh... this requires a vet obviously.


We can't cure him; the correct treatment from a vet can.
Reply:Sounds like ring worm. Get some anti fungal medication for your pup before the infection spreads to you.
Reply:Sounds like a visit to the vet is in order - they can put him on meds to help with the infection and something to help relieve the itch!
Reply:Sounds like it may either be a food allergy or demodex mange. You need to get him to the vet for a skin scrapping.
Reply:it is ringworm. And yes it can be fixed and the skin will return to normal. Just put iodine on it twice a day until it clears up, If you dont access to Iodine, then put watered down bleach on it. It will dry it out and kill the bacteria, which will in turn make the fungus go away. Ringworm is not actually a worm, so dont be worried, it is just fungus as you said. If the iodine nad bleach do not help then take him to the vet because he may have demadex, a skin disease.
Reply:If I were you I would take my dog to a vet to determine just what type of rash he has and whether or not it affects you. It is usually a matter of them taking a scraping or swab from the area and checking it under a microscope. Sometimes rashes require a biopsy to determine what is going on.


Also, you want to make sure he doesn't get a secondary skin infection that requires antibiotics.


Good Luck!
Reply:If its red, round and has a ring like bump then its ring worms. Get so anti-fungal shampoo. Don't touch it or you will get it. Call a vet if it gets worse
Reply:it sounds like ringworm... get lotrimin ultra cream for athletes foot and wash the area and put the cream on it at least 2 times a day... it's much cheaper and works just as well as the cream that the vet would prescribe
Reply:How long has he had it? Usually ringworm takes awhile to spread. If it's spread that much you still need a vet.


Mine had a small, nickel sized spot, on his forehead when he was a pup (gave it to our female as well, same spot). The vet gave us some antifungal, that cost $10 from him. But we could have gotten the exact same thing from wal mart for $3 or $4. So go to wal mart and get some antifungal cream. Put it on and keep your dog from licking it. You may need to get an E-collar from the vet. If it spreads, or doesn't start clearing up within a week, you will still need to go to the vet.
Reply:It's ring worm. That's a fungus. Any fungicide will kill it. Try monostat, tolnaftate, any athlete's foot creme, any vaginal fungicide creme, etc.
Reply:go to your veterinarian and have it checked out. it could be ringworm, demodex, sarcoptic mange, or allergic reactions. the last two will definately make them itchy and sarcoptic mange is contagious to people!!! all can be treated.
