Tell Me About Ringworm...
Cats...Dogs...Sheep...Horses

Ringworm is a skin disease caused by a fungus (plural: fungi). Because the lesions are often circular, it was once thought to be caused by a worm curling up in the tissue. However, there is no truth to that; it has nothing to do with a worm. There is not a worm in your body that is crawling around.

There are four fungal species affecting dogs which can cause the disease that we call ringworm. These may also affect humans. The fungi live in hair follicles and cause the hair shafts to break off at the skin line. This usually results in round patches of hair loss. As the fungus multiplies, the lesions may become irregularly shaped and spread over the dog's body.
This is transmitted by direct contact between dogs. This may be passed from cat to dog or dog to cats. Children are more resistant to receiving the ringworm than an adult is. Transmitting may also occur from the infected environment.
