Ringworm On Dogs. Can You Help?

I'm using the anti-fungal cream on her twice a day morning and night. In the mornings they look good, they're flat and it looks like they're healing up really good but when I go to put the cream on her they swell up like a blister or bump only on some not all. Does it mean the medicine is working and it's getting it out of her body?

    Yes, the medicine is working just give it time. Some things look worse before they get better. However you should stay in touch with your veterinarian. Peace

      Has ringworm been diagnosed in this dog or are you just treating on suspicion?  The problem could be that you are not treating the correct infection.  I would also consult with your veterinarian to make sure you are using an appropriate medication.
      It can take weeks to months of therapy to clear fungal infections.  If there are numerous areas of infection topical medication may not be strong enough.  Generalized ringworm needs oral anti-fungal medications to clear it.  This will be prescribed by your veterinarian.
      It is not normal for blisters to swell when being treated for ringworm.  This cat should be examined by a veterinarian or if this has been done should be rechecked to assess progress and the reaction to topical medication.

      It takes a long time to clear up ringworms. try cleaning the area with vinegar before you use the oniment. it's the acid
