Ringworm?

Yesterday a scab type circle came up on Rebels nose. I called my vet but he can't see him till 5.15 today. It looks like one is coming up on the other side now. I'm really worried & can't wait till it's time for the vet. I'm scared for him & scared it's an infection that will stop him getting his 2nd vaccine on Friday. I will post pictures. Would appreciate any opinions on what it could be. I've not seen ringworm but know puppies can be susceptible

from what i remember of ringworm (i've only seen it once in a litter of kittens), that doesn't look like it, especially if she hasn't been anywhere near any dogs/cats with ringworm. But i may very well be wrong!

your vet will be best placed to say what it is & whether it'll affect her 2nd jabs.

Thank goodness it is nearly gone. Vet said it's a fungal infection & gave me cream, it's so much better with applications last night & few today. He's fine to get his 2nd vaccination. I was really worried

That's good Laura, one less thing to worry about They do like to worry us sometimes!

I was imagining all sorts, I thought he'd be covered in ringworm, miss his jab & not be allowed to puppy class. I can hardly see the mark now

All that worrying & Rebel would be totally oblivious to the problem! I can see when Katy has cut herself & she's like 'what now with the cream mum?' doesn't know she's done anything

She's a brave girl. Rebel wasn't bothered at all, I've to clean with cooled boiled salt water, leave it too dry then apply the cream. He is such a good boy letting me do it with only a few nips haha. He thinks I'm playing

Getting past the teeth can be a problem, especially when they are grow'd up

Puppy teeth are so sharp

awww, that's great!

It sounds like Rebel has already mastered one of the roles of dogs - worrying their owners sick at every available opportunity!

Here he is enjoying the sun in the garden

He's growing already, isn't he?

He really is, it's amazing how much he's grown already

Great news Rebel is all good and he is looking fine there in the sun Laura

He's looking great Laura

Thanks Ian and Jen, I'm so proud of him. He's a handsome wee guy
