It was the most horrible situation to go through. I never want to see or have ringworm again. Thank all of you for your caring advice. It took 3 months. The vet ended up keeping Toby for a week while my daughter and I thoroughly cleaned house with bleach. Walls and all. And Toby got over...

It was ringworm. We fought it for 3 months. It was a nightmare and I about lost my mind. But we are well now. It’s finally over. Thanks to everyone. Toby’s mom

A dermatologist? For cats? Never heard of such. He’s been to the vet. He gets better, appears to be healing, then it gets worse again.

I’ve shampooed carpets twice with rubbing alcohol added to the water. And am shampooing again tomorrow. It’s not a steamer. Just a regular shampooer. I will be boiling the water. I know I am paranoid as heck of reinfection. I know these spores can live forever. I feel so defeated. Like...

It does look better, but still glows yellow when I check him with the black light. There are hairs growing back, though. No new lesions. I wish I could be sure because I want to take the cone collar off of him so bad, but am so paranoid that he will spread it when he grooms himself. Maybe...

Thank you all so much for your kind words and advice. I appreciate it. It helps. His nose definitely looks less angry. I can see tiny hairs growing back. Our vet lets people in. There’s just no sitting in waiting room. Not scheduling as many appointments I think. How do you know when it’s...

Hello. Toby went to vet today. He said there is new hair growth on his nose. He weighs 12 lbs, not 10, so increased Griseofulvin dosage. He gave him a steroid shot. Keep him isolated and medicated and should see improvement soon. He checked him over and doesn’t see any other spots of...

Wish I knew. I wash and change blankets daily. I’ve shampooed carpets twice with rubbing alcohol in the water. I vacuum daily and wipe surfaces with bleach water. I’ve washed all the curtains. But yes, it was on his ears and over his eye. That cleared up, then started on his nose Dec 22...

Yes. I’ve gotten it 3 times. I am giving him griseofulvin and using miconazole cream both from vet. I told them Tuesday it’s not working. They made me an appointment for Saturday. I agree it’s taking way too long.

Thank you all. I will. Toby’s mom. Karla

Thank you. He has another appointment Saturday. Thank you. This is a nightmare.

Thank you. I love him so much. I just need him to get well. I need this to be over. He is not responding to Griseofulvin and miconazole cream. It’s on his nose and between his eyes. He is wearing a cone collar so he can scratch. He’s depressed and miserable as am I.

My cat has ringworm and it’s not going away. He’s been on medicine and cream since Thanksgiving. He’s not responding to medicine. I’m doing everything I’m supposed to do. I’m just frustrated. I love him. I just want him well. I just had to vent. I’m so anxious and frustrated. Thank you...

Same here. My nerves and anxiety are shot. All I’m doing is cleaning and washing. It’s a total nightmare. I thought they were well and recovered and let them play together and guess what?! We all broke out again. I’m on my third break out.

I’m losing my mind. I have it again for the 3rd time. Doctor won’t give me anymore terbinafine tabs because I’ve been in them twice and it’s hard on liver she said. I’ve got 4 cats so this is a real challenge. Thank you for your response and encouragement. Karla

Thank you for the encouraging support. It can’t end soon enough. I can’t see my grandkids. They don’t want them at my house with good reason. I don’t , either. Certainly don’t want to take it to their house. They have pets. Karla

He’s been on 4 weeks of oral and topical. His ears and around his eye cleared up, but then broke out on his nose. His nose looks terrible. I have a collar on him from the vet so he can’t scratch and rub his nose. He is so depressed and miserable in that thing. I’m miserable, too. My poor...
