Treatment for Dog Ringworm: Folk Methods

There are no folk remedies for treating dog ringworm. It is important to persistently apply medication to the affected area, provide the dog with a balanced diet to enhance its immune system, and thoroughly disinfect the dog's kennel, food bowl, and activity environment. If the ringworm has spread throughout the body, you can choose to use a medication bath for systemic treatment.

Ringworm must be treated scientifically for the dog to recover more quickly and less likely to recur. Folk remedies are not recommended for treating ringworm.

Here are some measures to take when your dog has ringworm:

Isolation and disinfection. Dog ringworm has strong contact contagion and can spread to other dogs. It is best to isolate the dog in a small room or cage. Then, disinfect the dog's toys, kennel, and mats with disinfectant cleaner. Rinse with clean water, and expose them to ample sunlight to kill fungi. Ensure thorough disinfection of the dog's activity environment to eliminate remaining fungi.
Treat the affected area. Firstly, check the entire body for ringworm lesions and remove them as far as possible. Trim the hair around the affected area, and soak the lesion with warm water. Remove scales and crusts, then disinfect the area with hydrogen peroxide. Apply or spray specialized dog ringworm medication on the lesion. Fit the dog with an Elizabethan collar to prevent scratching. If the ringworm is widespread, consider using a medication bath for treatment. Keep using the medication consistently and continuously to prevent recurrence.
Balanced diet. During the illness, the dog's resistance is weak, so provide a balanced diet, including egg yolk, chicken, fruits, and vegetables. Rich dietary variety can help restore the dog's health. Allow the dog to bask in sunlight to enhance skin resistance and ensure regular exercise to promote nutrient absorption.
