The incubation period for ringworm is usually 1-2 weeks so odds are she did not get it from the kitten, and should be careful not to infect the kitten. She should also check the dogs for lesions.

My 7 month old Yorkie keeps eating rabbit poop, can she catch parasites from this??

Answer by The Official Rabbit Encyclopedia
As long as your rabbit doesn’t have any kind of intestinal parasites then she can’t. A lot of dogs eat bunny poop, it’s nothing to worry about. If the rabbit had any kind of intestinal parasites you would be able to see them in the rabbits poop.

look at the rectum you may have to push on the anel glands, worms look like grains of cooked rice, any pet store or like a walmart has over the counter meds to treat good luck

Question by julesxoxo: Does my puppy have ringworm? And did I catch it from him??!!?
I’ve had my new puppy, Buster, for a little over a week. I adopted him from the Humane Society last Saturday.He is a lab boxer mix and 9 weeks old and about 9 pounds. Yesterday I noticed a round, raised circle on his belly. I searched for pictures of ringworm on dogs and it looked more like red patches with loss of hair. About 3 days ago, I had an itchy feeling on my right shoulder blade, I couldn’t see anything and had my boyfriend check it out-there was not spot/rash or anything. Today my shoulder blade started itching again, so I checked it out in the mirror and now there is a scaly patch in the shape of a circle. Is this ringworm? Do both me and my puppy have it? How do i get rid of it? How much does it cost?! Please help! He has a vet appointment on Thursday for his 2nd puppy vaccination, should i wait that long to get this checked out?

It’s possible that you both do have ringworm – your veterinarian can diagnose for sure with what’s called a “Woods Lamp” – essentially, a small blacklight that will cause the ringworm-causing fungus to fluoresce.

As for you, you can purchase an anti-fungal cream over-the-counter at any drug store/Wal-Mart/etc. It should take care of your problem if that’s what it is.

Have your vet check it out on Tuesday, it’s no emergency.
