Ringworm
Ringworm:
A highly contagious skin disease caused not by a worm, but a fungus.
It appears in patches, frequently growing from the center outward
in a ring pattern. It may show up under an ultraviolet light. A
vet will prescribe suitable treatment. Gloves should always be worn
when handling an animal with suspected ringworm, as it is also very
contagious to humans.
