Canine Ringworm, Antifungal Shampoo

Antifungals work by exploiting differences between mammalian and fungal cells to kill off the fungal organism without significantly harming the host.
Unlike bacteria, both fungi and humans are eukaryotes. The basic structure of fungal cells and human cells is nearly identical.

This means it is more difficult to find a target for an antifungal medication to attack that does not also exist in the infected organism.
Consequently, there are often side-effects to these drugs.

Some of these side-effects can be life-threatening. There are several classes of antifungal drugs.

An antifungal shampoo can take care of your dogs situation There are several antifungal shampoos available. The most effective strategy is to bathe your dog using one of these shampoos every other day for three treatments. You should also bathe any exposed but unaffected pets once. When using an antifungal shampoo, lather up the skin over the dog's entire body (being careful to avoid the eyes, nostrils, and mouth) and leave it on for 5 minutes before thoroughly rinsing the dog.
