Hi Patricia, Beauregard and Tegan. Our old girl Minnie just tested positive for ringworm. We are doing the topical treatment at the moment. Just wondering if the ringworm spread to anyone else in your household. I feel itchy just thinking about it. Thanks in advance for your info.

my corgi had the same issue when he was a puppy, and it was only on the tips of his ears...it was the strangest thing. i never did figure out what it was, it just eventually resolved itself. his hair grew back and now he doesn't have the problem anymore. i don't know what to tell you other than just wait it out and see if it fixes itself. however, if you notice that it's spreading to other parts of her ear you may want to go to the vet because it could be something bacterial or even fungal.

Bandit has gone through the same problem before. We went to the vet and we found out that he had vasculitis - inflammation of blood vessels. The cause is uncertain, but the vet asked us to just put some Cortizone on it for a week. If it improved, then it shouldnt be a big deal. We did that for a week and the hair on the tips grew back. maybe that's what lyla has??

About a year and a half ago my Beauregard went through the exact same thing! He started losing hair on both ears and it didn't seem to bother him at all. I started freaking out thinking I was a horrible dog mom! I took him to the vet and they swabbed his ears to test for fungal infections. Turned out he had ringworm...they gave us an anti-fungal cream and some fish oil pills to help with the hair growing back. Once we started applying the fungal cream and giving him the pills, all of his hair…

I agree with Beth... it kind of sounds likes rain rot that horses get which is a fungal infection. I am not saying that is what it is, but it does sound like that. I think asking the vet is a good idea, and see if he might just recommend something to put on it or if she needs to go in and see him. I hope it turns out to not be a big deal though!

I don't think it's anything dangerous either! Wiley has a dark almost black spot in her ear that I was afraid was something bad but my vet has never said anything about it!

No, I really odn't think she is scratching it unless she only does it when I'm not around, which I doubt. It is on the tip of her ear, and I don't see anything that look unusual inside the ear, or even on any part of the visible part of the ear other than that one spot. I emailed my vet with a description asking if it was worth bringing her in for, so hopefully he gets that and gives me an answer tomorrow. I don't think it's anything dangerous, but it is strange and I don't want it to spread!
