I noticed that several of the ferals we care for seem to have ringworm, I guess it is rgwrm, perfectly round bald patches with a red center. When I saw the first there was no red center so I thought "fur off for some reason/fight/accident" but then others showed same lesions and as of today one of my housecats has a bald spot w/red center.
I can always treat my housecats but how do I medicate ferals I can't hardly get close to?
I read there is a preventative vaccine for ringworm? Never heard of it before. Not for the infected ones of course but we still have to catch a couple of strays at the colony and another that just had a litter yesterday.
Should I include ringworm in vacc protocol.
And if you have any idea what to do for an unmanageable feral (only know of dipping..I used to put antibiotics in the food dishes but they obviously hate it) to treat them I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thank-you!!
