Hi all !! I lost my pom 2 years ago (she was 17 years old) My vet knew I was looking for a new baby so he called and said he had a yorkie if I was interested. A breeder had brought a 5 week old male into his office to have put down because he had ringworms. Vet told her he would not do that as that condition was treatable, so she told him to do whatever he wanted with him as she didn't want to be bothered with it. (nice lady, huh). I went and picked him up and he looked pitiful. Could hardly hold his head up, had lost all the hair on his face, head, chest, and 3 large patches on his body. Also had yeast in ears. Started anti-fungal shampoos twice a week, anti-fungal cream twice a day ,antibiotic ointment for his eyes and antibiotic for his ears. Took back to the vet at 8 weeks.. Still had signs of ringworm with Woods light so am continuing shampoos and cream for 3 more weeks. He is a different pup now, running and playing like crazy. Has learned to sit on command and we are working on others. Pad training going on. I am feeding him Natural Balance dry food and Natural Balance Healthy Bones for treats and training..He is getting his hair back in all his bald spots and has not lost any additional in over 2 weeks.. And yes we are sure it is ringworm as I have it also !!!
Any advice or tips are appreciated as I have not had a puppy in years and am having to relearn everything all over again...
