MoChara 1,632 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 looks like ringworm ah now that makes more sense! Only thing I had similar was a stray flea bite on mochara few years back he was nibbling the area raw, but didn't look too much like that. I think Paulus hit it there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 if it is ringworm the vet should give you some sort of antihistamine for the itching and an anti fungal cream to cure the infection, basically piriton and caniston cream Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tb25 4,627 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Terrier has had it months tho.kicking myself a bit for not taking her to another vet sooner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sounds and looks like a bacterial infection to me ... Scrub it clean with warm salt water .... Then put 6 or 7 drops of tea tree oil in a mug of warm water stir it up and wash the area using this with some cotton wool ... Get the little balls and change it every time so your not dipping a dirty ball into the tea tree and water ... Do this a few times a day and see what it's like in three days ... You should see it getting better in by the third day ....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
