My big cat had reacted negatively when I tried to dip him and got the dip all over my bathroom and me, and remarkably little on him.
Here are a couple good sites I went to, the second one addresses ringworm in the foster home: Dermatophyte Treatment in a Nutshell | Dane County Humane Society: Helping People Help Animals and Information Sheet - Ringworm (Dermatophytosis)
You absolutely deserve a medal for taking Chance, your heart is so good, and the shelter was very kind to hold him long enough to get him into rescue, most would have euthanized. Ringworm is just awful in a shelter environment. I really applaud you for your big heart and willingness to work to help this dog. Not many people would be willing to go through this. I can't wait to see Chance cured and a happy little dog. Bless you. |
I am not looking for a medal just want to give a deserving underdog (no pun intended) a second Chance.....(Hence the name
Chance.
I am really considering doing just a apple cider vinegar bath 2x a week like was mentioned with Cody's mom and just forgetting the lyme dips altogether. They said the purpose was to stop the spores from dropping off and since his skin is cleaning up with all the dead material falling off already they may not be necessary....we will see.
I am not going to lie this
Chance project is very time consuming..good thing I work at home and I have been sick myself to boot... but it will be worth it in the end when YT supports this little guy to being as you said a "cured and happy little dog."
I sometimes think it takes a village like yt to raise a yorkie LOL
