Instructions
Put on your gloves. Separate the affected cattle from the non-affected, if possible.
Brush off the crusty, scabbed area over the ringworm. Collect the scrapings in the container to keep them from hitting the ground and contaminating the area. Dispose of the scrapings and the container when finished, either by putting them in the trash or burning them.
Apply the topical ringworm treatment or iodine solution to the freshly scraped area. Make sure to rub it in well. Apply to each ringworm area on the cow. Repeat this on every cow affected.
Wait three to five days. Scrape the ringworm areas, and apply the topical cream again. The ringworm should begin to disappear. If not, wait three to five days, and apply the cream again.
Disinfect the cattle's living area and equipment with the bleach solution. Let the area thoroughly dry to prevent another infection.
