Hair loss

21 9:46:40

Question
I asked you about a week ago about my foal who was loosing her hair around her eyes its now been 2 weeks and the hair loss is getting spread out more around her eyes and its starting to scab, some have said she may have ring worm, could it be? what do you think it may be? should I be calling a vet?

Answer
hi amanda,
hmmm.
i could possible be ring worm or any other kind of fungus. you can go to the feed store and get an anti fungle shampoo and wash her with it every other day. also washing it with iodine will kill any king of fungus or germs.  try this first. if neither of these work within a week or so call your vet. good luck
