Puppies losing hair in patches

My new puppies are losing their hair.  I have mainly noticed it on the puppies tails, but have seen it on the tops of their feet, sides of legs.  It is on the middle of 2 of the puppies tails.  The place is basically bald and on one of the dogs, a small growth similar to a wart is present (one of the dogs with it on their tail)  About 3 dogs have it on their tail and 2-3 more have it somewhere on their legs or feet.  One puppy just has a bald tip of his tail.  I have taken digital photos that I can email when I'm done with this.  The mom is a 3 yr old lab and I have never had any trouble with her, except when she was halfway through her pregnancy, I noticed a small round sore on her front leg about 6 inches above her foot.  It was circular and she kept licking it and it is finally healing now after 2 months.  The hair is finally growing back.  It was about the size of a quarter.  I have a 4 year old male (the dad) and he has never had any problems.  Also, we bought a female lab this summer, she is 6 months now.  I have seen her losing her hair on her forehead about the size of a baseball.  It is not quite bald, just thin hair.  As far as her medical history, when we first got her, she got real sick.  I took her to the vet and she told me that my dog had Parvo and had to be put on Iv's.  She almost died, but pulled through.  Maybe if she had parvo, she also carried something else to infect the dad and mom and the resulting litter?  I was wondering if this is ringworm or what else it is?  If it is ringworm, I've read that you can treat this lamisil, is this the fastest way to treat this.

Vet question of the day

Add to Dog with fleas
Last night  my 7yo female neutered maltese was scatching a little & I noticed that the day before she did a little too.  I rolled her over to look through her and found a flea...then 2 more a little bit later.  I immediately ran to the store and bought Sergeants flea control that you put on their back between the shoulder blades & put that on her immediatedly.  I washed all of her bedding & have vaccumed the house at least 3 times since.  We have a huge 2 level house and the dog is 99.9% of the time on our main level in our living room & dining room.  I found only 2 today...and that was early this morning...I have not seen any since...but am scared to death of how many fleas are in our house that I cannot see.  I am afraid they are crawling everywhere & don't know where to start.  The dog sometimes goes upstairs in our bedrooms.....I am afraid these pests could be in closets & etc....any advice would be greatly appreciated! - Click here to read the answer
