Had a friend whos mutt got them in the ears, and interestingly a bowl
of yogurt a week clears them up.
Just my 2cents.

This past week this area doubled. Rough guess is that it may now be over half an inch in length. As of last week, it also seemed to have a less affected middle area. Almost like an assymetrical ring. It does NOT itch (and neither did the previous lesions). This ferret was tested for Ringworm during the first eruption by her surgical area and was
