Ringworm? update with pictures
So if someone in my house has ringworm, should I be treating the dogs? Also I work in a pet store with small animals (ferrets, rabbits, rodents, etc) if it came from there will my house keep getting it? As far as I know I don't have any rings/spots on me. Clover has a small indent in her fur...it's not bald but you can see the fur is thinner in one spot. Could that be it? Is it a pill treatment I can just treat everyone with to be safe or?
I duno if this helps but I tried taking some pictures. I THINK it's a similar issue she had before on her tail a while ago. She had thinning fur in one spot and her skin looked dry. The fur on the spot was brittle too. I did have the vet look at that one and they took a sample to test and nothing came back on it. This seems to be the same thing. Which is why I haven't taken her in. (her fur is still a little thin on that spot on her tail) I just had her and Zeke to the vet and spend a couple hundred dollars so I don't need another $60-100 vet bill just to find out it's nothing :o But I will if it's possibly ringworm or something else? What do you all think?

I'm sure it's hard to tell but it's hard to get a good picture of it. Basically the fur is thinning in one spot on her side. Under the fur her skin seems dry.

Tinactin (for athelete's foot)
You can put Tinactin on the spot. It should dry it up..... Some pets are just carriers and never show a sign but give it to others. I had it once, and they think I got it from one of my cats! No cat ever show any symptoms and has never since! It is easily treated, don't get all goofy about it. Your vet should be able to give you a cream for your doggie. It isn't as bad as mange.:eek:
