Just need to add - there was an outbreak of ringworm in the shelter and unfortunately for me my kittens had no signs whatsoever! My older cat who has not been out of our apartment in 7 years got the lesions above her eye and on her ear and I was covered with it myself! And so was my son and...

I used intraconazol that the vet had made at a compounding pharmacy and the dosage was based on the weight of my cat. I used miconazol on the spots. And she had baths with that antifungal shampoo you mentioned. My kittens were dipped and not given any oral med. They never showed any signs of...

Oh my! Yes! Seems like 1000 years ago! Didn't last forever- but what an experience! I'll have these kittens a year in August and I love every minute of them! It was a bad dream! Thanks for mentioning me! Xo

They say ringworm will naturally "go away" in two years - honestly I wouldn't wait for two years for it to erradicate itself lol. My family had bad a year ago with 3 cats and without getting into detail....while it was a nightmare, it is now a memory! All my cats survived and were cured. There...

I think the terbinifine might make cats as well as people lose their appitite - my vet wasn't thrilled with Jackie being free roam but she had said to me that I should not allow her or the ringworm brothers into the bedrooms and to shut the door to those rooms....safe rooms! I did that for a few...

I just want to be clear that while Jackie was allowed to free roam after 3 weeks after this had started, she stilled continued oral and optical meds until she had been on 3 rounds of medication. It was about a total of 6-7 weeks that included the "off weeks" - the lesions started healing before...

This is Jackie back in September when she first caught ringworm from the above two kitten who by the way never showed any signs -

Ha ha! You have to do what you think is best for you and your family - re letting the cats free roam - Jackie had been out of the house for almost a week at the vet and the kittens were out getting 2x a week dippings - I was catless for a week. Jackie had already started her intaconazol while...

Awe what a sweetie pie! I promise this will pass! You asked about the trama company - well I paid a small fortune - under $3000 but at the time no money was too great - although they had hazmat suites on!! After being on that oral medication..if you find no more lesions on yourself or any other...

Hi - bunny and everyone else! Bunny you helped me tremendously when I went through the "plague" that began in early September :) and while I was ready to have a nervous breakdown I survived - Jacob and Jonah my new kittens was brought home and had the run of the house along with my existing cat...

Hi - we also had ringworm this past September - a nightmare but absolutely curable. They say that ringworm can live in the environment for up to two years - maybe, maybe not but it's when it's in consentrated amount that outbreaks will occur - clean and vacumne - ask your vet what they use to...

Have you asked your doctor to do a Bartonella test?

I know it sucks big time and your e phyically tired. I'm sure Romeo wasn't thrilled for the biopsy :( Jackie so far so good and has a scratch on her head that I'm hoping isn't ringworm. The kittens have been back a month and no human here had any lesions. I'm just praying. Sounds like your...

No one works harder than a rescuer and I commend you for your dedicated work saving the lives of animals and finding their forever homes! You seem to have everything under control and great knowledge! Thank you for sharing!

How long do you have milo now? And how long has it been since he's been treated and what again was he treated with and how many times? Is he still in isolation and if so how long has it been? Did he have a culture for ringworm? Was it a 10 or 21 day culture? Any oral antifungal meds or just...

Hi Karen - I'm not a doctor, but from what you discribed, it does not sound like ringworm to me at all. Sounds more like flea bites and or bedbugs - but let's not get into that! Lol - ringworm for sure on humans has a round ring and you shouldn't have any doubt if you indeed have it by now or...

Hey - if you got ringworm believe me - you would know it. It starts off as a raised lump like a mosquito bite and then has a wavy ring around it. And it itches! And it spreads easily. Google ringworm and click on images. Don't look at the worst ones because it not the norm unless someone has...
