How do you treat ringworm in animals?

Answer by  Jenise (29)

I have treated ringworm with an over the counter ointment such as Tinactin. Ringworm is not a worm; it is a fungal infection just like athletes foot or jock itch. If it is extensive, go to the vet. They also have antifungal medications to give with the topical

Ringworm is a very contagious infection. You will want to use care when handling animals with this fungus as it is contagious to other animals and humans. Use gloves when handling the animal and take your pet to the vet so that an fungal medication can be given.
