1. Care for ringworm spots
Find the ringworm spots on your dog and trim the hair in the affected areas one by one. Use only hydrogen peroxide for cleaning and disinfecting. If scabs develop, they should be cleaned and disinfected again. Be careful to wear an Elizabethan condom on your dog to avoid licking the affected area. In addition, the owner also needs to spray the affected area and apply skin cream to help maintain skin cleanliness and normal physiological functions. Insisting on disinfection and cleaning 2-3 times a day will help your dog recover as soon as possible and get rid of ringworm.
2. Nutritional supply
After taking care of ringworm, the owner also needs to feed the dog appropriate nutritious food to help improve the dog's physical condition and have enough ability to resist fungal infection. If you have time, cook some chicken soup, bone soup, meat porridge for your dog, and feed him some corn, carrots and other vegetables appropriately for balanced nutrition. If you don’t have time, you can directly feed nutritious ointments and canned food, and add vitamin B and pet itch in the dog food to supplement necessary nutrients, help strengthen the vitamin effect of the skin, and help recovery.
3. Isolation and disinfection
The kennel should be cleaned and disinfected regularly, and daily necessities should be cleaned and dried frequently to kill residual fungi and avoid secondary infection of the dog. Until the dog is fully recovered, do not let the infected dog come into contact with other pets and isolate it separately to avoid the spread of ringworm.
