This is an old thread, but it looks exactly like the stray kitten I'm fostering. Our kitten has a fungal skin infection (ringworm), which feeds on keratin in the skin and fur, leading to frail and dry skin that falls off easily. Treatment varies, but from American online content, a standard...

HI, I just joined in hopes of some guidance.I rescued a beautiful Siamese mix kitten who 3 month old. I noticed crust on the edges of his ears but thought he got his head in his food bowl.Little did I know I adipted a kitten with ringworm. I acted quickly when I was hair loss and started the...

I’ve read the massive thread about ringworm here and posted one of my questions in it, but I think it’s too old. Searching other threads for answers too but I still have a few. I’m trying to limit my scope to the Cat Site article and threads here. There is so much info out there! A lot of it...

I am basically a volunteer kitty rescuer the past 2 years and have only dealt with ringworm once before when I worked at a shelter. Unfortunately the shelter bullied me out of my job so I only made it through 2 weeks of treatment with those kitties and they euthanize them. The same shelter has...

Hi, I have been battling the dreaded Ringworm in my cat(s) now for 6 months, wow is it stressful. In October 22 my then 10 month old Mainecoon had some flaky skin under her fur on her neck, so being OTT I took her to the vet and after a culture confirmed it was Ringworm. I am nearing the end of...

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...

Have the other two kittens who were exposed tested positive for the ringworm? And how long have you been isolating those two? That info may be helpful for others who may see this. I don't really know too much about it because luckily have never had to deal with it. I'm guessing you did read...

Hi! I haven’t read this entire thread yet, but I read a lot and figured this was the place to ask since the Cat Site links to it from their article on ringworm. cat toys. Throw them away? The little stuffed ones I was going to wash but I mean the cat trees and toys that can’t be washed. I hate...

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.

I was told that I should create a thread here about my situation. One of my adult cats broke with ringworm the day before I had to go on a trip half way around the U.S. I returned this morning and now half of my cats have spots on their ears- I have a total of 9 cats ( I just lost one of my...

Here's a thread on a member whose cats had ringworm and how she managed it :- my-ringworm-story.410263

As someone who has just started dealing with ringworm and is still vacillating between panic and crying and cleaning, I just wanted to check in on this thread and see how those of you dealing with ringworm the last couple of months are doing. Have you won the war or still working towards defeat...

Here is my very recent experience with ringworm. Hang in there and don't freak out too much, it will be ok. Ringworm? 12 week old kitten

Hi there. We’re doing great. Ringworm is gone. I had a scare when I thought it was back, but turns out my cat has regular, minor skin issues. Nothing requiring treatment. I do know a woman in my neighborhood whose kitten had ringworm; it was then gone for a year, but suddenly returned!! That’s...

Hi Bought 2nd hand cat tree: should I do anything with it ? Take a look at that thread for cleaning/disinfecting a cat tree. About the litterbox, I think I'd clean that every couple days. This article has some good info, and I think you're right to be taking this at least reasonably seriously...

Just following up on this. The culture results came back and they are growing, aka it is fungus. The vet thinks yes to ringworm then, though now they are doing that second type to see what kind of fungus. I am already so exhausted. The kittens have our bedroom, and I've been cleaning like...

I'm new on the forum and was reading through the posts. We've been dealing with it since about mid-September and I'm still periodically vacillating between panic, crying and cleaning. Some days I can take a deep breath and cope and other days I just feel so frustrated. The worse part for me...

Another update on this thread. It was definitely ringworm and my cat caught it. He has a single dot on his nose. The vet said she wasn't even going to treat him for it, but she gave me a cream and told me to put it on for 10 days, three times a day, just as a precaution. I am deep cleaning my...
