What does ringworm look like in a dog?

Dog ringworm means the dog has a fungal skin infection, usually causing skin scaling, itching, redness, and hair loss. Without timely treatment, the skin may get a secondary bacterial infection, leading to ulcers, wetness, odor, and scabs.

Therefore, if ringworm signs appear, take the dog to a vet to confirm the cause and get a treatment plan. Treatment may include oral or topical antifungals, diet adjustment, and improved living environment.
