I understand that oral medication helps to kill the ringworm that has already taken root on the skin, however is it possible for reinfections to occur without bathing with medical shampoo (even if the environment has be sanitised) because the spores are still present in the fur? Previously my...

Yes, I think that might be the case, thanks for shedding light on this! Currently I am also bathing her twice weekly with medicated shampoo. I am also disinfecting my house with F10 once a week.

Thanks for the response! Regards to being compliant during syringe feeding, she isn't exactly 'weak' as she's able to jump and hide inside the cat tree/other high areas of the house, and she does struggle while being held down to be fed, but isn't refusing the food/water as compared to during...

Is your cat sterilised? My boy had a blockage when he was just about 2 years old-- I adopted him and he wasn't neutered at the time. He was very sexually frustrated as he would try mounting my females all the time and would constantly vocalise due to his drive not being sated. This stress I...

My cat is female, spayed, 4 years old. The horrors began a few months ago when I noticed a lump in her mouth which wouldn't go away despite being on steroids for a week or so. Concurrently, she also had ringworm, and she was on itraconazole for 2 months. They also gave her an antibiotic shot as...

Hey! They actually did use a culture test, so it was indeed ringworm. Another vet ever mentioned something about ringworm spores living on cats fur before they evolve into the actual fungus and attack the skin, so I was thinking could it be possible that the spores themselves weren't eradicated...

My cat was on 2 months itraconazole which pretty much cleared up her ringworm for a while, stopped for nearly a month and it's back IN THE SAME SPECIFIC SPOTS ALONG HER BACK. I'm going to thoroughly sanitise my home again, but why is it that she's getting it again in the same areas?

I'm not complaining at all! Has anyone experienced the same? Before her spay, Pixie was already a very sweet girl who never bit or scratched anyone, pliable to a fault and who would come up to guests for pats. She comes when I call her too and always accompanies me while I work or read. Now...

One of my newest additions to the family is a one year old female cat who keeps getting poop stuck to the inner sides of her paws! I haven't had the chance to sneak a peek when she's going number two but it's NEVER on the bottom of her paws. Hence I gather that she might have gotten them stained...

Hello all, the vet gave her a shot of antibiotics for her mouth and medicine for her fungal infection. It's been 6 days now and the bubble looks like this. I'm not sure how long antibiotics take to work completely. It might just be my worrying mind but does it look better to you guys?

Oh yea, forgot to mention I have two other cats who are entirely unaffected. Somehow they don't catch it (from her or from wherever she might have gotten it)

My cat has been prone to getting fungal infections over the years-- she just suffered one earlier this April and now she has fallen victim to this annoying condition once again!!!! Other than the typical treatments like antifungal medication, shampoos and creams which are administered once...

Yeah I have a feeling it could be a granuloma-- I just noticed that she likely also has a fungal infection (she is longhaired so I only realised it when I was bathing her earlier), which might be what triggered the reaction. Will bring her to the vet tomorrow as fungus is notorious for spreading...

She is eating very well however, in fact her appetite is still as huge as always. I'm going to bring her to the vet next week anyway but would like to know what this could be. Thanks!

She didn't accept the tuna wet food I put out. I will continue to observe tomorrow as she's still full of energy. Not sure if she could be eating when nobody is watching.

No she acts completely normal. Seems inquisitive and playful. Are some cats shy eaters?

I've had her for nearly 2 days now. She initially pooped on the end of the first day. There may be a chance she ate while nobody was watching. But when we offer her snacks she refuses which gives me the impression she probably hasn't eaten but I'm not sure. She is happily walking around the...

Should i force feed her? She hasn't eaten for a day as of now. Other places say 3 days is dangerous.

I introduced a 1 year old kitten to my two 3 year old cats. They are not aggressive towards her and mostly nonchalant, one of them tries to come close from time to time to sniff the kitten only to be met by hissing, where he gets the idea and walks off. The kitten began hiding so I placed her...
