Vinegar has the double benefit in that it not only works as well or better than prescribed ointments, the animal is less likely to eagerly lick it off during grooming because it’s tart, leaving it alone to work. The Vinegar evaporates on it’s own and doesn’t need to be washed off.

Applying it to your pet could take some doing depending on the personality of your pet and how severe the infection is. You can dab it on with a Q-tip, cotton ball or if need be: place it in a spray bottle, set to a narrow spray pattern, not quite full spray and not full stream. You want to make sure the vinegar reaches and saturates the affected skin but not further irritate the area or otherwise hurt the animal – Do Not spray around the animal’s eyes!

Our Cat had Ringworm and we applied the usual ointment. However, I noticed that he was looking kinda’ sick from it. Concerned it was probably making him ill, I saw a tip about the Vinegar. He resisted application but it worked extremely well. With the ointment, there was little difference over a couple days. With Vinegar, it was cleared up in as much time or less.
