I'm honestly starting to feel like I live on the "health" section of this site.
Turns out the kitten we recently adopted and had to send back to the shelter had a ringworm infestation. Now a week later, I'm noticing patches of hair missing on my 5 month old kitten - Great. Best part though? both my boyfriend and I have medium sized round red patches on our backs. The shelter didn't test him before giving him to us, so now we all have it. I'm going to be speaking to them about paying for my current kittens medication (as we got him from them as well, and they're the ones who infected him.)
My main question is, has any one had to deal with this?? How should I go about cleaning my house to kill the spores? Any cat (or human!!) medication you might suggest? I swear. I'm done with this shelter. This is the second cat I've gotten from them and he's just full of medical issues like Ares was.
