my great dane was at my dads for like a month while i moved back down here, and i brought him home because he was looking pretty skinny and depressed about four days ago. well today he was covered in ringworm looking things all over his stomach especially, and some on his legs. some of them are pretty big and others are kinda small. he has like over 35, but yesterday he didnt have a single one. the circles are smooth and not bumpy so i dont know if they are ringworms or not but they look like them a lot. does anyone know what else they could be, and how they could spread and grow that fast?

Get a blacklight. Ringworm will glow. You will want to keep him away from the kids and other animals and you will need meds from the vet. Odoban works well on killing things in the house I would clean thoroughly.

Get him to the vet. But to everyone on here, ringworms are not worms. Ringworm is actually a fungal infection. Look it up on the internet.

There is only one way to tell what it is and treat it. You need to go to a trained professional, a vet!
ASAP, as soon as possible. Whatever is wrong it's not getting better. The longer you wait the more costly it will be for you and for the dog.
If you don't want to treat the dog then take it in and have it put to sleep.

Get your dog to the vet! Ringworm is contagious to humans and other animals.

Does not sound like ringworm; could be seborrhea dermatitis or a generalized allergic reaction to something. Take him to a Veterinarian, because you will not have all of the necessary equipment/supplies/diagnostics to treat this condition.

Very fast. Get a dog wormer and let them die in peace.
