Gracie has developed something on top of her head that seems to be ringworm! I noticed yesterday and today there is more of it. It's not red, it's brown and it doesn't appear anything crusty or raised? I've looked at pictures of ringworm on the internet and it in some small ways resembles it but at the same time, it doesn't, so what would you think?

I bought some anti-fungal cream and put it on her head, and if it doesn't look any better in the next day or so, I'll call the vet. They say it's very contagious, but none of the other dogs have it, and none of us have it.

Does anybody else have any experience with this?
