Well I'm going to try something new for the ringworm, or start of ringworm that my calf has. Mind you we have a mere two and half weeks before the fairs now. For as long as I known I used iodine paste and that worked fairly well, but I was informed that I should use a fine ground sulfur and crisco compound instead because iodine just burns everything in the area and isn't that great for the animal. So we'll try it out and I'll let yall know how it goes!!

I've used engine oil and the reason it works is it smoothers so, I can't imagine why crisco oil won't work.

Good luck!

Another thing is use a curry comb to clean the scaling off and then use blu-kote.

Could you use Red Kote too?
Without looking at the can, no. It seems to me that Red Kote doesn't have the anti-fungical needed.
