Article: You need to limit the spread of the infection, which is done by keeping the infected horse away from uninfected horses. Where possible, it is best to isolate the horse for 2-3 weeks during and after treatment to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. In some cases, the horse's immune system will fight off the infection. In these cases the infection is considered 'self-limiting,' meaning that no treatment is necessary to cure that horse. However, because of the risk of infection and widespread shedding of fungus into the environment, it is advisable to treat ringworm before it has run its course. It can take around 6 - 15 weeks for self-cure to take place. During this time the horse is a source of infection to other horses. If the lesions are itchy and the horse rubs a lot, the ringworm patches may get infected are require further veterinary attention. Signs of infection include reddening of the area, inflammation, scabs formation, or weeping or discharge from the area. The first line of treatment is to use a topical treatment that is wiped over the affected areas to damage and kill the fungus. The product licensed for use in horses contains a drug called enilconazole (Imaverol). This is a liquid which damages the structure of the fungus and kills spores. It should be applied to the skin and hairs every three days for at least four treatments. Imaverol is concentrated and needs dilution prior to use. 1 ml of Imaverol is added to 50ml of water to make a 0.2% solution. It is best to spray the whole horse for the first treatment, in order to contact any fungus which is present but not yet showing signs of infection. After than it is acceptable to treat the infected areas only with a margin of skin around them to catch any sideways spread. The diluted Imaverol needs to contact the fungus, therefore scabs need to be removed first. This can be done by soaking them in a shampoo Malaseb (containing an antifungal agent, miconazole) and then picking them off or brushing gently with a toothbrush. Take care to wear gloves so that your skin doesn't become affected. After removing the scabs, thoroughly dry the skin so that water doesn't further dilute the Imaverol and weaken its action. Use any leftover Imaverol solution to wipe down reins and tack to decrease the risk of spread via equipment. It is also advisable to scrub down woodwork and surfaces with a 10% solution of bleach to kill the ringworm spores, which could pose a source of future infection. Oral medication, such as antifungal Griseofulvin, can be is added to the horse's feed. This treatment is usually reserved for hard-to-treat cases that are resistant to topical therapy. The horse receives treatment daily for 7 days. However, this treatment works from the inside out, and takes longer to be effective as the fungus need to contact the chemical in the blood. Also, some of the shed fungus could potentially still be infective.

Isolate the infected horse. Assess whether treatment is necessary. Apply a topical treatment for ringworm. Clean all equipment and areas that the infected horse has been in contact with. Give your horse oral medication for ringworm if topical treatment is not effective.
Article: You don't have to decide on a parenting style on your own. If you are raising children with other adults, talk to them about what they believe is best for the child. You may refer to the parenting styles, or come up with a hybrid style of your own. If someone is co-parenting with you on a 50/50 basis, it is extremely helpful to have similar, if not the same, parenting styles for consistency. In any household there is a lot of work to be done. With 2 parents, it is important that there is open communication about whose job it is to meet the various needs of your child. You'll have to agree on a clear division of labor for things to run smoothly. Who will take care of bath time? Who will cook dinner? These are good questions to work through before the stresses of being parents pile up. Come up with a set of practices that you will use to ensure that you see the desired outcome for you and your child. Have a conversation with the parents involved and create a clear guide for how you will handle parenting issues. Talk about discipline and praise. Figure out when and how you will praise, discipline, and spend time with your child. Talk about parenting duties. Decide how you will divide child care, finances, and household chores with your spouse or co-parent. Agree in advance about appropriate consequences for negative behavior and rewards for positive behavior. You do not want to decide these things for the first time in front of the child. When children see conflict like this, they may begin to play 1 parent against the other. Check in with your fellow parent (or parents) to see how things are going. Think back to what you wanted for your child when you first put together a parenting plan. Compare your child's reality with your original expectations. If things are not going as planned, consider adjusting your strategies or changing your parenting style. Ask key questions to see if things are going well. Is your child doing well in school? Are they making good choices? Do they have significant friendships? Are they happy?
