Since fungi are everywhere in our environment, it is difficult to determine which pets will develop the problem. The fungus that causes Ringworm can be cultured from the hair coats of normal dogs and cats. These pets might be carriers of the disease to other pets, and might even transmit the disease to people. We tend to see the problem more in young animals and those with compromised immune systems (for example- FeLV People will sometimes pick up a case of Ringworm from their pet, but just because a pet has Ringworm does not necessarily mean that the people that interact with that pet will develop the problem.

They're comic books! I think some people are wound just a little too tight, you know? I can sympathize with the idea of safeguarding children, but really, I don't think this qualifies. I think our children are a little too protected and safe-guarded as it is, personally. We put so much value on censoring reality the our perspective becomes skewed. Maybe we just never grew past our puritanical roots. Or maybe its just me. And after all, I don't have kids, so feel free to take this with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper.

I want to introduce you to our two scuttlers, guinea pigs Lilith and Tallulah, and to tell you about them, and especially their brush with ringworm at 8 weeks old (and how we treated them!). But first, see how beautiful they are now...... Sadly, Lilith Pig died on 2 April 2002, aged 4 years old, after a 6-week illness. Her passing was peaceful, but we all miss her very much. Please enjoy this site in her memory. November 2000 - Lilith and Tallulah were selected as Pets of the Month at Planet Expat! Click here October 1998 (aged 6 months) October 2000 (aged two and a half years) Lilith is the pig on the left. She is a Sheltie (Silkie) crossbreed and so has long silky hair. Tallulah, on the right, is a Texel, and so has fine, long wavy hair. Both were born in early April 1998. Although both are about the same age, Lilith is much larger than Tallulah. This is not a tribble, this is Tallulah, at about four months old, before her long hair had really begun to grow. See the picture on the right above to see how fluffy she is now.

16. The Ringworm Page WHAT KIND OF INFECTION IS IT? ringworm is the common name for the skin infectioncaused by a special group of fungi; it is not caused by a worm at all. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_ringworm.html

WHAT KIND OF INFECTION IS IT? "Ringworm" is the common name for the skin infection caused by a special group of fungi; it is not caused by a worm at all. The fungi feed upon the dead cells of skin and hair causing, in people, a classic round, red lesion with a ring of scale around the edges and normal recovering skin in the center. Because the ring of irritated, itchy skin looked like a worm, the infection was erroneously named. The fungi responsible are called "dermatophytes," meaning "plants that live on the skin" thus the more correct term for ringworm is "dermatophytosis." The characteristic "ring" appearance is primarily a human phenomenon. In animals, ringworm frequently looks like a dry, grey, scaly patch but can also mimic any other skin lesion and have any appearance. WHERE WOULD MY PET PICK UP THIS INFECTION? The spores of dermatophyte fungi are extremely hardy in the environment; they can live for years. All it takes is skin contact with a spore to cause infection. Infected animals are continuously dropping spore-covered hairs as infected hairs break off into the environment. Some animals are carriers, who never show signs of skin irritation themselves but can infect others readily. There are several species of dermatophyte fungi. Different species of fungi come from different kinds of animals or even from soil thus determining the ringworm species can help determine the source of the fungal infection.

Tinea Infections: Athlete's Foot, Jock Itch and Ringworm Printer-friendly version Email this article What is tinea? Tinea is a fungus that can grow on your skin, hair or nails. As it grows, it spreads out in a circle, leaving normal-looking skin in the middle. This makes it look like a ring. At the edge of the ring, the skin is lifted up by the irritation and looks red and scaly. To some people, the infection looks like a worm is under the skin. Because of the way it looks, tinea infection is often called "ringworm." However, there really isn't a worm under the skin. Return to top How did I get a fungal infection? You can get a fungal infection by touching a person who has one. Some kinds of fungi live on damp surfaces, like the floors in public showers or locker rooms. You can easily pick up a fungus there. You can even catch a fungal infection from your pets. Dogs and cats, as well as farm animals, can be infected with a fungus. Often this infection looks like a patch of skin where fur is missing.
