Ringworm – What is it and How to treat Ringworm in Cats, Dogs & Horses

Ringworm: it’s one of the most common skin conditions affecting pets of all shapes and sizes, from horses and show cattle to dogs and cats. Named for the characteristic circular pattern of hair loss that’s the hallmark of this infection, ringworm’s symptoms make it an easy problem to identify, but it’s always a good idea to consult your veterinarian for a definitive diagnosis. 

So what is ringworm exactly?

Ringworm is contagious and can be easily transmitted from animal to animal, or even animal to human, through infected grooming supplies, tack, or skin-to-skin contact.
