We received round 2 of cultures for all 4 cats and the second round was negative as well so a cautious yay. We are not doing any more cultures. We are still cleaning and disinfecting daily and shampooing the cats weekly with Malaseb. I think I have PTSD from this experience and don't yet feel...

Hi I am not the original poster but all 4 of our cats got RW in July from a rescue we saved and we just finally received culture 2 results negative for all of them. We had a tough RW because we treated them aggressively with Itrafungol for over 4 months straight no breaks as per the vet derm and...

Patient Zero. Little (not so little anymore) Oliver. His hair is still stained yellow despite the last L-S dip being over a month ago.

Update: round one of cultures- negative. This week we are bringing them into the vet for another round of cultures. Fingers crossed. We are continuing with the Malaseb bathing (Fred every 3 days and the others every 6 days) and Itrafungol (for 3 of the 4 since Fred can not tolerate the oral...

Fingers crossed for you and your sweet kitty! We are actually still dealing with RW here and our 4 cats. We are waiting on the re-culture results. Fred (the elder cat at 17) was unable to tolerate the Itrafungol so he is slowest to clear and I am concerned he won't be negative for RW yet. This...

Malaseb shampoo can help different skin conditions including RW and other dermatological issues. Also you might want to consider culturing if need be. I know with our cats they did not start improving despite aggressive treatment until 6-8 weeks in... Good luck. Hope your kitty finds relief soon.

Thank you. The veterinarian called us yesterday after the culture and wants to shave Fred's belly where he has crusting. His hair regrew there (after the RW infection) but it's all crusty as are his paws and face but the vet wants to shave just his belly. So my husband just left with Fred and is...

Wonderful news! So happy for you!

Sharing some recent photos of the kitties during this RW ordeal. Little Oliver is quite yellow still from all his Lime Sulfur dips. Fred hanging out with his daddy. Despite it all he is still purring. He is so weak though :( And Tommy while looking fierce is the sweetest baby just...

Update: the 4 cats are getting re cultured in 2 days. Oliver, Tommy and Bobby look much better and Fred's hair is regrowing. Just growing in dark though vs white and he does still have black crusts on his tummy despite the hair regrowth. IDK what that is. Active RW fungus still? I hope not. He...

Hi Vaguedinosaur, how are you doing now? I just found your thread searching for RW threads and hope you are all well and free of RW or almost there. We started RW treatment end of July and not sure where we stand yet but getting re- cultured in 2 days. We have 4 cats with it and one senior...

Hi, we are on week 13 of treatment and daily house cleaning and disinfecting. We could not isolate our cats so have been cleaning, vacuuming, wet mopping, disinfecting and then dry mopping the house daily. And daily changing and washing of the sheets and towels and well let's just say between my...

Yesterday we shampooed all 4 cats with Ciderm Shampoo.

Just bumping this up looking for any info about shampooing. Does anyone use the JKat products? Thanks.

Want to add Oliver the 17 week old is doing well and growing hair back. Tommy is still losing hair. Bobby's neck has grown in but he is losing hair on his back. The vet derm says not to panic as that was probably affected originally but the hair is just breaking off now. I sure hope it isn't a...

Thanks daisycat1122. Our Fred is 17 yo and an old man and cannot tolerate the anti fungal orals. We tried. I also got Terbinafine when the Itrafungol disagreed with Fred and the pills are just too big and the side effects too great. The good news is Fred's fungus is cleaning but he is listless...

Thanks and glad you were able to get your cats well. We asked but our vet doesn't want to shave the cats and we are giving Itrafungol just once a day. At 5 mg/kg with the exception of Oliver who is getting 10 mg/kg but in one dose a day. And our senior cat did not tolerate the Itrafungol at all...

Does anyone know if bathing cats with anti fungal shampoo is helpful for ringworm? I am reading conflicting info (Dr. Karen Moriello (sp?) who I believe is the expert re ringworm) that bathing can break their hair shafts and spread ringworm but then I am reading it is helpful. The rescue...

Hi guys, quick question. 3 of our 4 cats have been on Itrafungol for almost a month now. Oliver straight for 26 days and Bobby and Tommy for around 3 weeks. But Fred couldn't tolerate it so he was only on it for 6 days and that was weeks ago. They are all also getting lime sulfur dips...

Update: The rescue person we got Oliver from came over yesterday and helped us bathe all 4 with Miconazole shampoo. That was challenging but we are so appreciative that the rescue person was willing to come over and help us especially because she lives an hour away. She scrubbed off lots of the...
