Dog Ringworm Remedies - Herbs
Calendula
Calendula is an excellent herb which is anti-inflammatory and which heals wounds and sores quickly
and nicely.
Use a cotton swab to apply a tincture of this herb to the ringworm lesions two or three
times a day until they heal.
Alternatively, use an ointment of calendula on the lesions. It is soothing and works well too.
Licorice
Licorice is another herb that is anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. Used topically, it is
effective in treating skin irritations and infections such as those caused by ringworm.
Use the dried herb of licorice to make a tea: Add 5 to 7 teaspoons of the dried herb to one cup of hot water. Boil and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Let the tea
cool down and use a cotton ball to apply the tea to the lesions, 2 to 3 times a day.

Dog Ringworm Remedies - Essential OilsTea Tree Oil **Never use UNDILUTED Tea Tree Oil on dogs and cats.** Tea tree oil is a very effective antifungal essential oil, but it can be irritating to some pets, especially small dogs and cats. It is important that we dilute the oil with a carrier oil (such as olive oil) before using on our pets. A good topical ringworm treatment can be made by using tea tree oil and Vitamin E: Add half a teaspoon of tea tree oil to about half an ounce of a carrier oil (e.g. olive oil, or sweet almond oil). Then pop a vitamin E capsule and squeeze the oil into the tea tree mixture. Mix well and apply it to the lesions 2 to 3 times daily. Neem Oil Neem oil is derived from the seeds of the neem tree and is antifungal and anti-inflammatory. It also has pain relief effects, making it a wonderfully effective remedy for various dog skin irritations including canine ringworm. Its bitter taste also discourages dogs from licking! If you have neem oil, you can use a cotton swab to apply the oil to the lesions, 2 to 3 times daily.
Other Natural Dog Ringworm RemediesPure Virgin Coconut Oil Coconut oil is said to be the "healthiest oil on earth". It contains powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal agents that prevent infection and disease and, used topically on pets, is effective in treating skin irritations. To treat lesions caused by ringworm, just pop open some coconut oil capsules and squeeze the oil on to the affected areas. Repeat 2 to 3 times daily.
