Well, we've got ringworm. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. I've had it once many years ago but have been lucky and have not had to deal with it since. It started with my foster kitten and spread to two other cats. The kitten is being treated with medicated shampoo and it seems to be working fine. She has several bald spots, although it's still quite mild. The other two seem to have the ringworm localized to a particular area. One only has it on one ear and the other has it on her back. The kitty that has it on her back is a really feisty girl so I just can't see giving her baths like I'm doing with the kitten so I'm considering treating only the area where the ringworm is. I've clipped her fur in that area to make it easier to treat. I could bathe the other cat but I'm wondering if it's necessary when it's only on his ear?
Does anyone know if it's possible to spot treat ringworm on cats or if you have to treat the whole cat? Based on what I've read it seems that most recommend treating the whole cat but I was hoping someone here can speak from experience. Can I use Masaleb shampoo or lime sulfur dip to treat only the area affected?
