Can I catch ringworm from my dog if he sleeps in my bed with me?

Ring worm is a possibility and is contagious to both people and other animals. There is no way to be certain from the photos. Your vet can check it with a woods lamp to see if it reacts or do a culture to confirm it. It may be a reaction from a tick or allergy that is also causing those spots You can try to keep the spot clean and apply a topical antifubgal until you get the seen to be safe

You can't get ringworm if your dog licks you, but you can get it from touching the sores and from the environment. Ringworm spores can last up to 18 months in the house, and you need to disinfect your home. I will put a link to a website that will give you detailed instructions on how to do it. Athlete's foot cream will not cure ringworm in dogs, and both your dogs have to see a vet first thing Monday. Ringworm in dogs is caused by Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, or Microsporum gypseum, while athlete's foot is caused by trichophyton rubrum. A different medication will be required to treat your dogs's ringworm. http://www.livestrong.com/article/49666-rid-home-ringworm/

If indeed Felix is suffering from a fungus, then there certainly is a potential for a human to get infected, The most common fungal infections in cats are caused by microsporum and trichophyton spp. and those certainly are contagious to humans, I would not let him sleep in your bed for now and when you pet him, wash your hands with soap and water afterwards. Diligently use the ointment and do not stop using it until at least two weeks after all signs of the fungus are gone.

Oh you are right, this could be ringworm. Do NOT touch it, ringworm is contagious to humans as well as other animals. Take Chloe into the vet. The vet can confirm it's ringworm, and can prescribe medication to treat it. If she has ringworm, you will have to disinfect your home, as ringworm spores can live up to 18 months in the home. I will put a link below on how to do it. I hope this helps. http://www.livestrong.com/article/49666-rid-home-ringworm/

Oh no, poor Jax! It looks like he might have ringworm, which is a highly contagious fungal infection. Unfortunately it's contagious to humans, and if you are itching too, he may have passed it onto you. I would have him seen by a vet tomorrow. If he does have ringworm, the vet can prescribe medication to treat it. You should also go see your doctor if he has it so you can get treatment for it as well. Should he have ringworm, you will need to disinfect the environment because the spores can live in the home for up to 18 months.

If it looks like ringworm, it is quite possible that Buzz does have ringworm. I would isolate him from any other animals in the home right away, as it is contagious to both other animals and humans. Have him seen by a vet in the morning, who can use a fungal culture and Wood's lamp to confirm he does have ringworm, and can prescribe antifungal treatments for it. Do not use any OTC antifungal treatments on it, such as ointment for athlete's foot because athlete's foot is caused by a different fungus than ringworm and it will not treat it. If Buzz does have ringworm, you will have to check yourself to make sure you don't have any lesions from it, and see if your doctor if you find suspicious spots. You will also need to disinfect your home, and I will give you a link to a website that details exactly how to do this. I hope this advice helps you! http://www.livestrong.com/article/49666-rid-home-ringworm/

It’s probably okay to wait until tomorrow as long as he doesn’t seem too uncomfortable. Environmental contamination is a concern so it would be best to keep him confined to one room in the house (the easier to clean the better) and minimize contact with people and pets. Wash hands after petting him. I wouldn’t recommend staring any topical medications until you see your vet - there are some other skin conditions that can look like ringworm and that may not be the diagnosis.
