At the time the whole litter had it and I was bathing them in an antifungal shampoo everyday. I didn't wear gloves or do anything to NOT catch it because I was told at the time that I wouldn't get it. Stupid vet. (like I said before, we changed vets) It finally went away on the pups but then I broke out. It was terrible. I tried to just treat it myself but it got so bad I finally went to the doctor. It was oozing and running gunk. eck. Got ointments and antifungal meds (that cost around ($10 a pill!!!) and it FINALLY went away. But like I said I have some scars left from it. Perfect round places on each arm, just like a cigar burn that has healed. If I EVER see it again on a dog or anything I will def take more care in handling it. Wear gloves. Burn stuff. Wash wash wash.
You know I have see children have a ringworm or two and it raised up, got red, was treated and went away within about 1 or 2 weeks. Go figure I get it and it takes 9 months!!! sheesh |
