Ringworm is not a worm but a fungal infection. It causes dry, white flakey skin and thickened ears. In severe cases the fur and spines will be lost.

Treat using Imaverol baths x 3 over 3 weeks. Useful to give a vitamin and mineral supplement with Zinc in the diet. It can take many weeks for this fungal infection to clear.
