Osage is a very handsome 3-month old Lab puppy in need of a great foster home.
It's hard to see in the photo, but Osage has a spot of ringworm on his nose.
The course of treatment for this is fairly simple. He will need a Lime/Sulphur did every 3-5 days for a month. We would provide the lime/sulphur mix for you.
Now that stuff can be kind of stinky. So, as an alternative, you can appy anti-fungal cream (like what you might use for athlete's foot) to the area for a month.
The main issue in dealing with ringworm is that it can be spread to other animals and to people. Therefore, Osage would have to be isolated from your other pets and you'd want to wear gloves when giving him his treatment.
It's totally worth the time and effort though, as this is a great little dog.
If you can help us out, please contact the shelter today. I can be reached via e-mail at kennel@cmhspets.org or by phone at 573-999-4955.
Thank you.
