My dog has red rings near his private area. Is it ringworm?

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

When I hear that a dog has red circles on their body, my first thought is ringworm. This is a highly contagious fungal infection that can spread to other animals and humans as well. It could also be that Sophia has a skin infection or may have injured herself leading to these red circles. The only way to know for sure is to have her seen by a vet, and I recommend taking her in today or tomorrow. The vet can diagnose what is causing them and how best to treat them. If she does have ringworm, you will need to disinfect the environment because the spores can live in it for up to 18 months. I can give you a link to a website on how to do this: http://www.livestrong.com/article/49666-rid-home-ringworm/

When I hear that a dog like Boo has small, circular sores, the first thing that comes to my mind is ringworm. Ringworm is a fungal infection that is characterized by red circles. I would take Boo into the vet tomorrow. The vet can do a physical exam, use a Wood's lamp, and may do a fungal culture to confirm that he does have ringworm. If he does, every animal in your house will need to be treated for it, as it's highly contagious to both animals and humans. You will also have to disinfect the home. I will link a website that gives details on how to disinfect a house from ringworm. This is very important to do, as the spores can live for up to 18 months in a home. http://www.livestrong.com/article/49666-rid-home-ringworm/

This is suspicious of ringworm (a fungal infection of the skin). This could also be due to a yeast or bacteria infection. It's best to get it diagnosed by a veterinarian, because ringworm can spread to different parts of the body and can spread to people. Also, the more involved the infection, the longer it will take to clear. For now, I recommend washing your hands anytime you touch Rexi.

Those spots on Prince could be several things including allergies, skin mites, flea bites, ringworm (which humans can get) or a bacterial infection. You can try adding in an omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs, this can help improve the skin health. You may also try changing his diet to something like Royal Canin or Nutro as they are aimed at skin health. You can wash the lesions with soap once a day and rinse well (don't wash his whole body, just those spots). Protect the areas from licking or scratching. If they don't start looking better within about a week or if they get worse, have him examined by his veterinarian who may prescribe medications. If this is ringworm, yes, your other dog could already be infected. Lesions may not show up for up to 4 weeks so keep a close eye on the pup. Also go ahead and stop the other pet from licking the area. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.

This is very suspicious of an infection called ringworm, it is a common fungal infection in puppies. you will need to take him to the vet in order to get it confirmed and treated with an antifungal medication.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is unlikely to be ringworm at least based on how it looks right now. This is possibly due to local inflammation. I recommend that you continue to monitor Milo for now. If this lesion fails to improve on its own or it worsens have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
