Actually, that's incorrect. Even if a cat does not show signs of ringworm, it may very well become a carrier of the fungus. So, if you were to bring another animal into the home, the existing cat may break out again (due to stress) and the new animal stands an extremely good chance of getting it too. And, if you aren't cleaning on a daily basis, the spores can live in your environment for a long time -- up to 1 year. I have only ever known oral meds and topical creams/sprays used together to kill the ringworm spores. You should also be aware that creams developed for human use only sometimes work on animals.
You will get plenty of advice here, so I won't give much, just one a couple: stay calm, and keep loving your baby. Stop googling, searching on the internet, etc, as you will get completely paranoid. Ringworm sucks, but it is not as bad as it sounds.Originally Posted by kittymcG
All advice I have been given says I should expect that the other cat will get it and so will I...
Any advice?
