Despite its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm, but by a fungus. The term ring comes from the circular patches that can form anywhere, but are often found on a dog's head, paws, ears, and forelegs. Inflammation, scaly patches, and hair loss often surround the lesions.
Though most adult dogs have a resistance to ringworm, puppies and dogs with an unhealthy immune system are easily susceptible to this fungus. Ringworm is more prevalent in warmer climates and spores can survive on skin, in the ground and in carpets or bedding for as much as 18 months.ingworm symptoms are generally characteristic for most dogs and can be easily confused with mange. Ringworm fungus will cause hair shafts to break off as it feeds on dead skin and hair tissue. The typical ring that is apparent in humans is not generally noticeable in dogs.
