I’m wondering if anyone has experience with ringworm in their chickens and if anyone has experience with it being transmitted to their dog(s)?
We have been treating our dog for what we suspect is ringworm, even though cytology hasn’t really shown anything. The vet thought maybe the chickens could be the source. I didn’t think but then I noticed the comb of my rooster looked whitish in spots. Today I started treating him for it. 2 of my hens also have bald patches, one on her bum and one on top of her head, which I originally thought was feather plucking/bullying, but maybe not! I don’t see any sign of other parasites on them. I don’t have photos but can always get some.
