I dont see any hair loss at all. It happend a week and 2 days ago... so if they are scabs, would they be gone already? I cant really see too far into his hair bc his hair is so THICK- he doesnt have normal yorkie hair lol its almost like.. puppy hair still... but its puffy! I saw some dry flakes, at least I am hoping. DOes anyone have a pic of what ring worm would look like, or tell me how to tell?!?

Thanks!
I took Kobe to the vet because I thought he had ringworm (me and my daughter had it). I took him in the first time and the vet said it was just a scratch (and I knew it wasn't) and I took him in again and a different vet tested a piece of it and ruled it out. She said that it should've been adressed the first time. She gave us an ointment and it eventually went away. Needless to say, now I always ask for the other vet. I would take him in before it gets real bad.
