If you've got it in you to swiffer the walls they say it helps pick up fungal spores. I haven't found any research on how much each swiffering/washing reduces fungal spore count but anthing is better than nothing. It's ok to go a little crazy cleaning but then pace yourself especially if you...

Hang in there!!! The first week feels overwhelming. It's going to get better! I lost my mind for the first 2 weeks then settled into a routine that was managable but far from the agressive approach that is recommended. There just wasn't time for all of it and although I am no stranger to hard...

Awe what a cutie!!

Where do you get the fungassy test to do at home?? Would so love to do that!! My kittens just finished the 3rd week of (on/off Itrafngol) The first kitten looks pretty good. Kitten #2 still has some spots that light up on her nose. We go to the vet on the 24th for culture.

My Birman developed Chronic kidney disease. Initially, it was occasional UTI's, increasing difficulty with constipation, fuss eating habits. Agree with mrsgreenjeens, add wet food and add a bit of water to make it smooth/creamy to aid hydration is very helpful. I did Sub q fluids for 3 years...

Oh interesting!! I hadn't read about diatomaceous earth in any of the articles I've found, thanks for that tip.

Thanks for your input. I'm a bit in the "crazy mode" at the moment. It's day 5 of the first round of Itrafungol and day 12 or so for the chlorhexidine/ketaconazole wipes to the affected areas for girl #1, and day 5 of wipes for girl #2. They both have new affected areas this week. I...

Antonio65, Did you clean like mad, get your carpets professionally cleaned every 6 weeks, Throw out cat towers and scratching posts? Just trying to get perspective. I've heard everything from "it'll be fine, just give them the meds and don't go crazy" to "Throw everything away that isn't nailed...

Thank you so much!! I'll read through that this am.

Hi, We just adopted 2 female kittens from a recue organization and of course 2 weeks into our home they have ringworm. This is my first time dealing with ringworm and I could use some support, It's a bit overwhelming!! I really appreciated bunnelina's post on the "6 Things I learned from our...
