Ring Worm??

[Chuckie]

As long as I raised cattle, never have seen this. I think it must be ringworm. Pour on Ivermectin is what I am reading that will kill it. Any other suggestions?

Doesn’t look like ringworm to me. Has this animal been really sick at some point?

 

[Silver]

At first I thought it had lost all its hair except those raised patches. Looking closer maybe it's those small patches you are talking about? They don't appear to be scabby though. Either way, Ivermecton is for parasites, ringworm is a fungus.

Don’t think it’s ringworm.

Hard to tell from the picture. If you can peel the scabs off might be rain rot. If they're more like growths I've seen cutaneous lymphoma look like that. Or maybe leftovers from a hypersensitivity reaction to something like bug bites.

Pic I found on the internet. This is what any ringworm I’ve ever seen looks like .

Grandson they just showed up last night. These cattle have extremely thin hair. Almost like velvet. But he said yesterday they were not there. This morning two have it. So, I am wondering if this is the first part of the ring worm scab showing through quickly on such thin haired cattle.

Also found this . Never heard of this.

Lumpy Skin? Goodness. Not sure of location having anything to do with this. Southwest Tennessee. I am thankful that I never had it on cattle before. I will look up Lumpy Skin now....

Looks like lumpy skin disease isn’t something found in the US. Not yet at least.

Tweaked my curiosity. Not trying to diagnose your ailment of your cattle. Cattle are like people, there’s lots out there they can catch and a lot they can die from . It amazes me they stay as healthy as they do.

Doesn't look like any ringworm I've ever had.

Use Lime sulpher for RW.
But it does not look like any i have seen.

Could it be warts spreading?

May be bug bites, as suggested, if it just showed up over night.
Knocked a bee hive out of a tree or ants on a post/tree they used to scratch.

Wife thinks start of ringworm.

topical dectomax-ivomec second choice

ortho rose dust will cheaply treat and sometimes kill ring worm-fungus
penicillin daily 2 weeks may kill it
betadine daily will
time should
remember hypersensitivity to something topically
burns such as urine burns but not in normal place
sun burn
blue tongue if nose is crusted also
ferns mints

The OP mentioned thin hair on the cattle. My vet/daughter had a call to look at some calves that had an odd skin condition. Covered in little spots of irritated skin. Insect bites? Allergic reactions to plants or chemical or something they ate? Screwworm/maggots? Only on the young calves. Those calves were sired by a senepol bull. Senepol have sparse hair and thin skin. After looking around, she noticed that the calves had to go through a patch of spiny amaranth (a pigweed) to get to the good grazing. The pigweed was tall and thick. The stickers on the pigweed were irritating the skin. Owner mowed the pigweed and the problem went away.

My money is on a dermatophylus infection occuring where the skin is broken by fly bites.

Silver, Grandson says he acts like nothing is going on as far as an ailment. Hope he stays that way.
