Thanks for the site, Ken. I should have said clipping as well but we both knew what each other meant. I don't know if you have ever dealt with ringworm and I hope you never do. We got it on 2 Norwegian Forest cats we bought and it was a real battle to eradicate; took us a year!!! We didn't clip which probably added a considerable amount of treatment time but we used everything in the arsenal. The vaccine is a waste in my opinion; Program will do the same thing and works on fleas which the vaccine doesn't. We managed to keep it out of the house and none of our LaPerms got it and neither did the NFC's we already had. Thank God we always quarantine new arrivals as getting RW in the house would have been a disaster! We have a small house in back which is air conditioned and heated with running water and a play area where all new arrivals go for their quarantine period. It is also where the show cats go after a show for their quarantine period but with the RW we curtailed ANY showing until it was cured. Needless to say it put the brakes on our breeding program as well. I'm off on a tangent, sorry.Originally posted by Imagyne
Well then here's a site, among others, that you can visit. It will explain it better than I. This is, of course one site of many vet sites that say about the same thing.
Ringworm treatment
I probably should have said that clipping a cat is okay, but not shaving.
