Hello,
When I adopted my new Maine Coon kitten, some of his litter mates had a fungal infection. He came to my home with assurances that he didn't have ringworm, but he did have some small bumps on his forehead. On his first kitten check, our vet scraped the area and looked at it under a Woods' Lamp. There was no evidence of ringworm. Fast forward a month: it appears kitten is asymptomatic because the little stinker gifted me his ringworm infection. I took him back to the vet, but she still is unable to detect any sign of ringworm. How do I know if the kitten (Wikki) is still symptomatic when there's no evidence of infection on him? How do I begin to tackle his potential ringworm issues if there's nothing to treat? I would like to hold and cuddle him again, but I'm concerned about getting more ringworms.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
