You're welcome for the help! Just paying it forward. I'm thankful for those who responded to me and told me it would be okay, eventually. A few more weeks and you will start to feel "done" with the ringworm infection.

LisaBLee they probably do NOT have ringworm anymore, however, they are probably testing positive because there is still a few spores of ringworm in the environment. Dr Moriello's recent research has show that often cats are 'dust mops' to the spores and will culture positive if there are a few...

My kitten doesn’t have ringworm, but the swollen chin healed up and then a week later his lip looks swollen. (I didn’t do the PCR test) Him and my adult cat play a lot so it might be a play wound. I am also wondering if it’s rodent ulcers? Probably going to take him to the vet next week.

Also, your question about air purifiers: Dr Moriello has said that environmental cleaning is only important if you are doing cultures on the animals. Her studies have found that cats only get ringworm from contact, direct or indirect and has never had a cat contract ringworm from the spores that...

I am so sorry you are going through this. Most of us on this page had a similar experience. The professionals we deal with during this ringworm outbreak are often clueless as to how fast and far this fungus spreads. I was told ringworm was "no big deal" and that one of the rescue workers let her...

Turns out it was just a little play bump! It went away after a couple of days. He has always had sparse hair on his chin, but the sudden redness really freaked me out. All is calm again in our house.

I will try to get a better picture tonight. It actually looked a little less red today. He doesn't seem to be bothered by it, but also doesn't want me to touch it, but keep in mind he is a lively kitten who isn't a big fan of petting his face. When he had ringworm, but we didn't know it, he...

I should also mention, he looks perfectly pristine every where else. When he had ringworm, he was scabby and not red at all. This doesn’t look like ringworm when he had it.

Our little guy Meco is 6 months and devoloped a pink swollen chin on Sunday morning. He looked perfectly normal on Saturday night. Is this just a little wound from play fighting with our 2 year old cat? Is this kitten acne? When we got him at 7 weeks, he brought ringworm into our home of 4 dogs...

So what did it end up being? My naimals got over a bout of ringworm when we rescued a kitten. The kitten recently showed up with a pink slightly swollen spot right below his lips. I'm hoping it's kitten acne. I'm going to give it one more day and if it doesn't get better, I'm taking him to the...

If we can make it past this weekend with no new lesions, we will be officially ringworm free. We stopped bathing them almost 3 weeks ago. It takes up to 3 weeks for a lesion to appear to our naked eye. I realized that I have been treating my pets since July 8th! My profile pic is our kitten the...

So all the lesions are gone on my crew. The neighbor's dog is healing and no longer scratching. We are going down to 1 bath a week. How long did you all keep washing them after the lesions disappeared? Were any of you culturing them or doing the PCR tests from the vet?

We are on month 2. It has taken this long because our neighbors dog got immediately infected and was treated with our pets but we forgot to clean the ATV this dog rides in all the time. So beginning month 2 we had to start all over because we found two huge bald patches when we were pet sitting...

I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this. This has been such a nightmare for us too. Some cheaper but less effective products that others swear by are apple cider vinegar or olive oil. How do you think they got it? Do you think they were carrying it the whole time or did the new ones bring it in?
