I can't believe I have to make this post, but Juno developed a tiny bald spot behind her ear that seems consistent with ringworm. Even though neither she nor I have been in contact with any animals in the last two weeks. It was normal under a blacklight but I understand that's not terribly reliable.
We already have a wellness check scheduled for next Tuesday. Do I need to get her in before then (assuming I can)? Between last night when I first noticed it and today, it hasn't gotten worse or spread. I know ringworm is very contagious but she's my only cat. As for myself, and limiting her movements around the apartment, isn't it too late? I read the incubation period is 10 days. Would she have been contagious that whole time or only starting last night when she presented with it? If I can, I'm tempted to do nothing until Tuesday, because it seems futile and I don't feel like being stressed out until it's confirmed.
