Last night before I went to bed, I petted my fat kitty Meimey and to my horror noticed a bald spot about the 1cm in diameter on neck! It was dry, flaky and after I googled it was possibly a ringworm. I panicked and wondered how I have never noticed it before this because I pet and brush her daily. It was not noticeable under normal view because it was hidden under a layer of skin/fat just above her neck. As I said, she is quite chubby.
I’m so worried after reading all the horror posts about ringworm. I can’t get to the vet until Saturday but I have put some medical spray on the spot.
I checked Meffy and she seems fine. I’m not sure how long the sore has been there but now I recalled seeing some dirt or flakes on Meimey more than a week ago and just brushed it off thinking she probably got them from playing with our shoes.
I left for work this morning after putting spray on her. Should I separate them again?
How did she get infected? She is 100% indoors and we live in an apartment.
I’m so sad right now because I failed to notice it earlier Meimey is very healthy. She was never sick or had any issues for the 6 years I’ve had her aside from getting rotten a tooth pulled in July. She’s a sweetheart.
Does it hurt her? I’m thinking of giving her a bath tonight after work.
