    Ringworm

    Hi I found it confusing as well! I lightly tapped the bristles in the medium but did not leave the toothbrush. When I plucked the hairs were the lesions had been I tapped them in the medium also. Making sure all samples were attached to the medium. I found what I thought to be better examples of...

    Sending encouragement your way! This has been such a long hard journey for you and your kitties. Without commitment for care and cost it would never end. I have had animals my entire life and had no idea what ringworm fungus could do. I purchased toothbrushes at Walmart. Sending a picture. I...

    Ringworm

    I do agree that ringworm is financially depleting. The purchase of dog crates and the medication for all my cats was costly. The medication for the dogs added to it all. The cleaning products, vacuum and the mental and physical stress with all of the baths I had to do. The laundry was extensive...

    Very glad to hear everyones good news!!! I checked again for my ending date of Intrafungal for my cats and it was the middle of April. Maybe I can take a sigh of relief and let go of some of the stress of ringworm thoughts😩😬. I have new cleaning habits also from all of this. And I do love my...

    So glad to hear it’s not ringworm👏👏👏 I also am watching my pets scratch and rub on something and all I can think is ringworm. I know they scratched before or rubbed and I wasn’t even aware of ringworm before on animals. I’m still vacuuming a lot and wiping down with disinfectant wipes more...

    Ringworm! Help!

    I recently had a kitten who brought ringworm into my house. I became aware because I developed a lesion. Please read the previous post about ringworm. It is great that you caught it early. I would quarantine the two that you know have lesions. It is a very contagious fungus. Both to pets and...

    Glad to hear you are going to have help! It is such a commitment to do a thorough job. The white colony grew before the red began. I’m watching very closely because if I’m reading and understanding correctly the colony starts and color change at the same time. I found pictures and information on...

    Ringworm

    Hi I have been just doing my regular cleaning with a lot of extra vacuuming. The cat who had a lesion and the other Maine coon who had hair loss are not showing any signs of ringworm but their culture began to turn red under the white colony. I took another culture around the face and ears...

    I live in CT and it has been hot and humid. 94 degrees today! Merlin must be enjoying his freedom again. The ears continue to be a mystery you say. Hopefully your vet will have some sort of answer to what it is? Oh my a vacation for me is a bit difficult with the amount of little pets I have...

    Ringworm

    It’s been 6 days since I used the sterile toothbrush and brushed my cats for a fungassy culture. No color change as of right now! I can only hope I took the culture correctly😬. Im not noticing any bald spots, lesions or extra hair loss. My vets approach to ringworm on my cat was so relaxed it...

    Cute kitties💕 The lamp sounds good! The Fungassy comes with 10 vials per set.My order as two test kits. A total of 20 vials for testing! With 3 yorkies and 6 cats to test it is my best option!

    I wanted to send all the information that I have about Fungassy testing. I did purchase from this site most recently. Arrived cold with overnight and I was able to purchase two sets of vials with overnight air for $104.00. Less than I paid at Revival animal health. It may not be the best option...

    Hi Merlin is very cute!!! I purchased my fungassy test kit from Revival animal health. I put in Fungassy test to search where I could buy it and their company showed it was availabl. You would have to pay for overnight air due to the summer season. It requires refrigeration until you use it...

    Ringworm

    Okay! Maybe good news for you! I would agree that you would think two cultures should have been done? Hopefully it is something else other than ringworm reoccurring 😬 I had contacted the vets at Chewy where I purchase most of my pet supplies and they were very helpful and knowledgeable about...

    Ringworm

    The hair loss was very minimal and one lesion on the kitten who brought it in. My yorkie had two small lesions above her eyes. I did not find any other lesions but the spores glowed green on the other cats fur and also the two other yorkies . I am still concerned for reinfection. Fungassy is...

    Ringworm

    Hi Panic had me looking for options due to my vet not doing cultures! I found the Fungassy test by sortie on you tube. Being done by a vet I believe. I called Zoetis and questioned the product. It has to be shipped overnight from a supplier because it needs to be refrigerated. Once culture is...

    Ringworm

    After reading about the reinfection and lesions still present while they were on intrafungal is unsettling 😳 I keep checking for hair loss and any sign of a lesion starting but have not noticed anything. But, every time they scratch I’m thinking it’s ringworm starting again. Culturing with the...

    Beautiful cat towers🙁 I would definitely hate to toss them but I don’t know if it would be a place of reinfection with the spores? I also purchased the same swiffer products and found out they do get the hairs that my vacuum may have missed! I had a small collection of books on a book case and I...
