Although the name suggests otherwise, ringworm is not caused by a worm at all-but a fungus. This highly contagious infection can lead to patchy areas of hair loss on a dog, and can spread to other animals-and to humans, too.
When it comes to diseases passed from pet to owner, ringworm is about as contagious as it gets. Ringworm spores can survive for months without a host, where a pet could pick up the fungal infection. Symptoms in pets: Skin lesions and patches of hair loss with a red mark in the center. Symptoms in people: Red, circular patches on the skin. Treat it: Prescription ointment or oral medication for people and pets.
