| I have only seen a limedip used for mange. Has a vet diagnosed your pet with ringworm or does it just look like it? Vets use a special light to check for it. Ringworm responds to the products for athletes foot or jock itch as they are a fungus and contagious to humans.. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | I had picked up a MinPin for a friend and he had to be treated for ring worm. He had to take a pill every 4 days and had to be bathed with special shampoo. Ringworm is a spore that is in the air. You need to bleach EVERYTHING! Every room, wall, everything needs to be bleached. Makes no sense to treat a dog that might get it again because everything was not treated properly. Good luck!

| Gucci had ringworm when first she came home. She was treated with a special oral med, a medicated shampoo and the lyme dip. I had to bathe Gucci at least every 5 days and used the lyme dip that smell like rotten eggs. Her ringworm was bad it took us around 5 months for it to be clear. Good luck. |
