Mites??? When was the last time the animal was wormed? A pour on wormer oribably would clear that up.

Sure looks like ringworm to me. Better get some iodine or ringworm spray at your local livestock supply and apply it 2 or 3 times a day.

If its ringworm the best way to treat is time and sunshine but it doesnt look like ringworm to me.

Yesterday I text a pic. to the vet and finally heard back from him this morning and he said it was a Fungus... the cure would be 1 cup of bleach - 4 cups of water once a week. Thanks everyone for your input!
The ? I forgot to ask was how & why. :o

Ringworm is a fungus... probably what the vet suspects it is.

It looks like 'something' laid eggs under/on the skin, eggs hatched, larvae ate their way through the skin and dropped off animal, changed into a 'something" and flew away to repeat the cycle elsewhere :hide:
