So, I adopted the absolute most gorgeous medium haired orange kitty almost 1 month ago. He is now 4pds..appx 3-4months old. Plays with my 2 yr old cat all the time..they follow each other around, sleep together, etc...he even stopped hissing at my Golden Retreiver. My son who has Aspergers has bonded with him in an unbelievalbe way due to the fact that this kitten is like a live stuffed animal. He loves to cuddle!!! I swear I never saw anything like it in my life. He rarely lets me do chores due to the fact that he wants to lay on me. He will fall asleep on my chest and we will lay face to face. He is awsome!! OK, so here is the problem...
Last week, he had a boo boo on his ear...my vet and i both thought from climbing the Christmas tree. She gave me animax (antibiotic) and the cone. She did take a ringworm culture. She said she really doubted he had it since nothing showed with the light and it didnt look like it. Well, today they called and said the culture tested positive for ringworm!! I am distraught!! I know people think I am ridiculous but I dont know how I am going to isolate him... He is so used to following me around all the time and being with my son and cuddling. How is going to stay in a room alone after being here a month already? Also my house is big...3500 sq ft. How in the heck am I going to santize my whole house ? Leather couches,,,closets...etc...??? I am already washing bed covers and all but how do I sanitize all the different surfaces. I cant exactly put bleach on wood furniture and leather!! Any suggestions?? Do those hand held steamers work?? Any advice would be appreciated. My sons are going to be so SAD and UPSET when they get home from school today especially 3 days before Christmas....Leo, my kitty has SOOOOO helped my son....Any speedy way of dealing with this??? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.....THANKS TO ALL AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS...
