Ringworm, Canine and Feline - contd.
Avoid geographical areas suspected of containing fungal spores. The animal's environment, brushes, bedding, and other potentially contaminated objects should be disinfected periodically with a 1:10 dilution of bleach to water. In multi-animal households, all animals should be tested with a fungal culture even if they are not exhibiting clinical symptoms of infection. Some animals, especially longhaired cats, can be asymptomatic carriers of ringworm for long periods of time. The examining veterinarian may recommend additional measures of prevention.
