    • For overall immunity, add a vitamin like Vettabs to your dog's daily diet.However, I have never heard of an animal developing an immunity to fungal infections. I would have the vet run a culture of fungus scraped from the dog, to make sure it is right type of medicine. If he does not want to, find another vet who will. I would also wash/replace everything the dog touches(bed, toys, etc.) Does he swim in a natural body of water, like a pond or stream? Find the source of the fungus, and remove it or keep the dog away from it. There are also several antifungal shampoos out on the market, but I do not have experience to recommend which one to use.

Hairs loss and plates (without hairs) habitually round appear.in brief, we had the choice then between a cream has $30 the tube! a shampoo has $80! or total by drugs $+100!...by reading little, on of other one forums, we read that several uses(employs) simply of the canesten! or whatever others cream for mushrooms. And it was also for shampoos against mushroomstherefore, for $10 (cream and shampoos), we put of cream several times a day (seen price) and giving several baths with shampoo. at the end of week (after 3 months without evolution), they saw from new hairs(hair) appearing!!we have continue cream jusqu' has that hairs(hair) takes back(resumes) places(seats) very her or about 1 month.but for - $+10, with products having the same purpose(goal) is to destroy mushrooms, our dogs does not have ringworms anymore her.If it reappear again and again, you need a deeper cleaning of the dog area...hope it help you
