I dont know if you ever recall this post I did last year or so, but Fluffy had a scratchy meow. She also had scabs on her near her ears and throat. The vet shaved her throat area down, and their was a deep scab, which he thought Cinnamon might have caused, or maybe Fluffy scratching at herself. I took her back in for her shots and showed the vet the scabs on her ears. At the time, I was feeding her and Cinnamon Iams Hairball/weight control, and we both thought it was an allergic reaction to the food, so I switched back to the ocean/fish formula. End of that.
When we got Winnie and Minnie (our new bengal kittens), Winnie had a lesion on her chin, and the vet suspected it was ringworm, so she did a culture and sent me home with Confite (miconzole .. spelling?) .. It came back negative.
Ok, so last week, I was holding Fluffy on her back, and noticed black specs on her. These specs are round, and some are around her nipples.... However, she has NO hairloss. So, I have been putting the confite on her with a cotton ball twice a day. I've also been feeding her and Cinnamon the Iams Hairball (without the weight control) for the past few months. Is this ringworm, or is it an allergy? I will call the vet tomorrow, if they are open. What are the black specs? I know that when you see the specs, it can mean ringworm.
