Newbie here. I'm a volunteer with a rescue in NYC. On 4/26 I accepted a kitten foster who had ringworm. I had no idea because it did not look like what I knew ringworm to look (it was flakes encrusted on her tail with hair loss - I thought she was biting and aggravating it). So, about three or four weeks later I get ringworm and realize who I got it from. All that time she's been all over my apartment, me and my two other cats.
At this point she has gotten three dips from a vet in three weeks. Now one of my cats has a ringworm on his eye. I went to the same vet that is handling my foster and she gave him an antifungal.
So here's my situation. I'm diabetic and the ringworm is popping up on my arms, hands, and torso. I got cream for my dr last week. I live in basement, one room apartment so I could not isolate them. At this point I would like to do sulfur lime baths for both my cats and also an additional weekly bath for the kitten in addition to the one the vet is giving her.
My question is can I give them baths and let them dry in the bathroom with a electric heater or should I have the vet do it? I don't have much money so I wanted to do it myself. My other option is to get crates for my two cats (the kitten has hers) and just isolate them all in my one room apartment for three weeks until the situation gets better. I would hate to do that but the kitten and my cats have free roam of the place and are all over me.
