Confirm if this is ringworm

hi lads,

I have a bullock that was 100% on march 9th when i bought him,
and since then has rapidly showed up what i think is ringworm.

would it be from the stress etc. .
i was assuming it was ring worm, and like other years, the sunlight and time will do its job. . .

the animal is thriving away, and no bother. . .. no bleeding. . crusty in places..

see for yourselves.

dont know about leaving it to sunlight though and time. . .

should i give him something? . . . .would be good to get a drench to pour on while feeding nuts in a bucket as hes out grazing grass.

Looks like ringworm alright

It certainly has all the appearance of ringworm.

Bear in mind that ring worm is a fungal infection not a parasitic one. Not all pour ons will be effective

I think for now I'll keep an eye on it, should see an improvement in coming weeks

I had a good bit of ringworm hassle past 2 years.. Imaverol E25 from your vet.. mix it up in pump action sprayer with water .. wear gloves.. rough up scabs to allow good soakage of solution and you will kill it

horriblw stuff, good luck with it

That looks like a bad case, id give the vet a ring

Definitely ringworm.
Imravol will definitely clear it but it's €20 a litre.

If you get iodine it will clear it a bit slower but much cheaper than Imravol.

I don't think any pour on will help and waiting and see will do no good as he has too much to clear up on it's own. If say take action now and he'll be well tidied up soon.

Confirm if this is ringworm
