Hi!
so my little fur baby had what my vet believed to be ringworm last year. We never got a culture done. She was put on an oral and topical medication for 8 or 10 weeks I can’t remember. And we followed strict rules. We had her quarantined for 3 months and deep cleaned her room every day. It was exhausting. We deep cleaned and carpet cleaned like crazy and eventually moved so let her out in the new place. She was free from any symptoms since February. Now she has this around her eye I just noticed. Any idea what it could be? She keeps that eye closed now like she’s winking. Any insight is appreciated :) thank you for whoever takes the time to look!

Hi. It is hard to tell what that might be. But, it doesn't seem like it is ringworm. Is she known to have herpes? Sometimes, a herpes flare up will cause eye issues, but that is just one of many possibilities. How old is she? Does she go outdoors? Was the suspected ringworm in the same location? Has she had anything like this before (other than the possible ringworm)?

If your vet will accept pictures, you might want to send one to them and ask what they think. They have her history which might help narrow down the possibilities.

Wish I could be more helpful. Hopefully, some other members will come along soon and have some ideas for you!
