Common Causes and Treatment of Ringworm in Cats, Dogs, and Rabbits
Ringworm (dermatophytosis) is a highly contagious, zoonotic fungal infection that strikes animals with weak skin immunity — especially youngsters and those in damp, dirty surroundings — and can pass to humans. Treatment means isolating the pet, clipping and disinfecting lesions, antifungal sprays or ointments (plus oral antifungals and B-vitamins for severe cases, with liver support), and thorough environmental cleaning; rabbits need ivermectin-based mite control to prevent it. Keep the home dry and ventilated, bathe sparingly with pet shampoo, and use a little sunlight to stop outbreaks before they start.

What Causes Arthritis in Dogs?
Arthritis in dogs is driven by genetics, obesity, improper exercise, and aging. Breeds prone to joint dysplasia—such as Saint Bernard, German Shepherd, and Pomeranian—are at higher risk, while excess weight and hard exercise wear down cartilage, and older dogs lose bone density. Prevention centers on weight control, joint-friendly low-impact exercise, warmth, paw traction, and regular checkups.
