Answer 3

You can buy any anti-fungal spray and spray it on three times a day. Anything with tolnaftate will do the trick. I have quite a few animals and have caught it a time or two and this is what works best for me. My doctor suggested it. The tolnaftate spray works on animals as well as humans. It's not expensive to buy and is carried everywhere. The spray works better than the antifungal cream. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Use a fungicide,( like lotramine) or something similar. It is found in the footcare department or also jock itch. Ring worm is a fungus and you need to put the cream totally around the infected area. Do not spread the infection by scratching or rubbing. You can transfer it to other areas on the body by doing so. Good luck.
