To make a very long story short, we had a kitten in our home July 1- 19 who wound up having ringworm. He had the type that glows under a blacklight, and he was glowing bright green.
I've had a ringworm patch on my arm for about 10 days, treating it with creams since day 3 when I realized what it was. Both after the kitten presented, and again after myself, we bleached / sanitized the entire apartment.
Yesterday I woke up and my cat had what appeared to be a strip of hair missing just above her nose, like her nose continued up her muzzle for half a centimeter. Humans of the household panicked that it was ringworm. The strip wasn't red, gray, or scaly like the kitten's were, and it isn't glowing under the blacklight. By yesterday afternoon, after we got everything we needed to quarantine, bathe, and treat the cat, and clean the apartment yet again, her nose looked fine. We can barely see the strip we were adamant we saw this morning. We took her into a pitch black room, and nothing is glowing.
She's been super anxious/needy since the kitten was here, and she's been rubbing her face on EVERYTHING. Did we over panic and she just rubbed some hair off her face and is fine, or over panicked at a thin spot? We did a sulfur dip, started her on oral meds, and put miconazole above her nose as a precaution.
