Treatment Of Ringworm In Calves
Ringworm in calves is sometimes troublesome to farmers, especially in poorly nourished animals Before the application of any remedy the Department of Agriculture recommends that the scales be removed by running in a mixture of equal parts of soft soap and lard and scraping off the softened scabs the next day. The bare patches should then be dressed with an ointment consisting of one part of salicylic acid and eight parts of lard or any registered stock remedy for ringworm which is available.
As the infection can be transmitted to man, the Department advise wearing rubber gloves when treating ringworm. In any case the hands and arms should be thoroughly washed immediately after the dressings have been applied.
