[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1608356, member: 968"] Nothing for you to fret about. It will run it's course and they should never get it again. As mentioned, just putting something ON it won't really help unless you are able to completely scub off all the cry crud. When my show cattle get it, I have to try to clear it up as fast as possible. I use a curry comb and scrape all the crud off until the skin actually bleeds. Then I put bleach on it. then I cover it with vaseline, and keep covering with vaseline everytime I can. Ringworm is a fungus. Fungus needs air to survive. If you keep it smothered (grease, oil, vaseline) it can't get air so it dies. Cowgal604 - just so you know (and any newbies that read your post), deworming does absolutely NOTHING for ringworm. Ringworm is not any kind of worm - just a fungus. [/QUOTE]
