Awkward question- I have a 6 month old foster who excessively licks (almost like nursing) his genitals. He was removed from his feral mother and bottle fed at around 3 weeks old. He would also “nurse” on his brother. His former adoptive family (he was returned) took him to the vet with this...

I have made the extremely painful decision to rehome the foster kittens with another home. As I sit here holding a sweet purring baby I am heartbroken. I don’t feel I have the energy for at least 5 more weeks of the cleaning/medicating plus working full time in the office. Cat detail is all I do...

What a beauty!

Mine did that as well. It freaked me out. we stopped the bottle feeding and transitioned to mash (kibbles soaked in warm formula-like oatmeal). She was about 6 weeks old anyways so it was about time. Depending on the size he swallowed it could cause a blockage. Before you panic too much...

One of the exposed kittens tested positive yesterday. So I put the two with ringworm together and the other in a room alone. She had been with the one who tested positive yesterday for 2 weeks.

What laundry detergent did you use? Did you add bleach also? Thanks.

Wow. Bless you for rescuing the baby. I’ve thought about a blow torch for my house except I’m in a townhome and dont think my neighbors would appreciate it. 😂 My rescue group is so dismissive about this being a pain in the butt issue. I know ringworm isn’t fatal to me or kitty but it is a...

Thank you. I have 2 foster kittens with active ringworm (1 diagnosed today and the other 2 weeks ago) and another older kitten heavily exposed and presumed infected. (i also have 3 housecats of my own I fear have been environmentally exposed.) I started the intrafungal tonight for the 2...

Also How long ago was kitten treated? Did they do cultures to insure they were negative? I bought a small “woods lamp” a special black light flashlight with a UV of 365. When shone in a dark room on a cat with ringworm the spots will glow bright green. It is not 100% accurate but is is a great...

Hi, I am not sure it is ringworm or not but i am suspicious of it bc you mentioned a kitten had it. Transmission is possible both from cat to cat and from spores hanging out in the environment. I am battling it now and it is horrible. If the cat is otherwise acting and eating normal i would say...

Mod Note.. moved from another thread. ************************* Long frustrated post ahead. My rescue group is downplaying my concerns over ringworm. I have one 10 wk old kitten who has been isolated for two weeks in a bathroom. He has ringworm He is on the 2nd week of his five week pulse...

😳 i’m terrified of ringworm. One of my foster cats has it. Reading this I just remembered they were in my bedroom several hours during the first 2 days. New spore fear unlocked because my house cats are in there now.

Is Rescue and bleach both similarly effective?

I just happened back onto this site after MANY years away and found this old post. Glad to say Teeny is thriving and 8 years old now. I ended up keeping her.

Hi all. I’m also a foster with a newly diagnosed ringworm infection in an 8-week old kitten. Kitten 1 is miserable, isolated for just 4 days now in a bathroom. His ringworm is so far just on his face. His former roommate, Kitten 2, is negative (so far) and I keep him in my spare bedroom “cat...
