    Ringworm

    to be honest, the primary vet don't know too much. at one point my cats had about 2-3 rounds of pulse dosing itrafungol because the ringworm kept coming back. i aksed them if they could start a stronger dose instead of pulse dosing and they said they rather the cats get over the ringworm...

    6 Things I Learned from Our Ringworm Plague (book length....)

    technically, rescue can be used on items after being vacuuming to kill the spores on the leftover hair that couldn't be collected or was missed. ideally, all the hair should be picked up, but to be honest, there are always a bit leftover of debris or hair. rescue should still work as long as it...

    no problem! @Forry @Sandy7272 just wondering, but did any of your fungassy cultures remained the typical regular amber/yellow color without any colony change for days to weeksss despite being inoculated? my cat's fungassy culture have not had any color change. still amber/yellow and no...

    Ringworm

    I don’t think it is ringworm. Miconazole isn’t the strongest medication for ringworm. Itrafungol oral medication is ideal. Especially if what your cat has is healing. Unless he has lesions that can’t be seen under the fur or crustiness/ dandruff. The fungal culture test is called fungassy...

    Ringworm

    also so your cat is on the miconazole shampoo because he definitely does have ringworm? kinda surprised that if it is excoriation, that he would get it from the miconazole shampoo since it is less irritable than lime sulfur In July-august, my cat developed some redness (with hair loss) again on...

She mainly got that redness on the head and neck. When I brought her to the derm vet. They said it was excoriation. Her...

    Thanks for the help!! :) Since 8/7 in the morning, none of the fungassy samples changed. The two sample with the very light pink tooth brush’s bristle on the bottom still looks the same. No growth or spread. The medium is still amber/yellow and no colony growth! I would like to think that the...

    Ringworm

    my ragdoll redness started to subside and she developed a small circular open wound (ddidnt look like ringworm), but that small open wound ended up closing within a week. which does not seem like her usual ringworm to me. she has been scratching around the ears a lot because it got a bit dirty...

    Ringworm? 12 week old kitten

    thanks for going into details! which Clorox wipes did you use? when you vaccum, did the cat's fur get stuck to the brush? did you disinfect the brush as well? so i assumed you never used any rescue product to disinfect then? in my case, unfortunately, ive been dealing with on and off ringworm...

    Ringworm

    I feel like the ringworm is back again.. my ragdoll has a few bald spots on ears And on top of eye. Usually she would ringworm lesions on top of the eye :/ I wish it was excoriation again. Because last time she lost fur on her neck and was very red, but apparently it was just excoriation...

    Ringworm

    That’s great to hear :) My cats ringworm culture will be back this week. I hope it is negative. But even if it is negative, I have a feeling their next ringworm culture will come back positive. It’s just living with ringworm for the last 11 months makes me feel like I will never ever ever be...
