Hi Cat Lovers,
So I found a stray kitten (about 7-9 mos) on the street about two weeks ago. I took him home and was going to take him to the shelter but ended up falling in love instead. I took him to the vet the next morning, and he had a suspicious looking patch on the back of his neck, which the vet did a fungal test on to see if it was ringworm. The results came out negative, but she said it could be the organisms were too small, and to still keep him in quarantine and give him miconazole until his appointment in a week and a half. Quarantine has been brutal. He is such a social cat and he doesn’t understand why he has to be locked in our ONLY bathroom (which has been majorly stressful). We have been diligently giving him his miconazole at scheduled times, and tomorrow is his appointment where we might FINALLY be able to let him out of quarantine (it will be exactly two weeks), and a NEW ringworm looking spot on his back thigh showed up last night. I’m so stressed! Do you guys think this new patch could be ringworm or something else? It’s a bald spot with two red wound looking marks in it. I’m so sad, I don’t want him to be locked up anymore . My poor little beeb. I just wish I could tell him this is temporary.
