    Add me to the list.. Kohl has RINGWORM!!

    Two days ago I noticed a little round patch of crusty on his cheek. I knew immediately it was ringworm. It was a Saturday, so no vets open.
    my mother made an appointment today for him at her vet. She had to take him because I had a prior appointment I had to tend to.
    Anyways, he has ringworm on both sides of his cheeks. They did a skin scrap, a culture, a combo test (neg/neg) and the woods lamp. The vet gave him a sulfur bath and that is it.I must wash him weekly with it. I wanted him to have an ointment, but my mom did not push the issue as I would have.
    So, on top of the rest of everything I have to do, I must combat this... And everyone knows how careful you must be with this fungus. Thank god he has not been around my cats. He was still in quarentine for a few more weeks. Atleast I can be thankful of that!
    Wish me luck, this is just what I needed...

    awwwww, da baby has ringworm! Boooo! So sorry to hear that, but I'm also very glad he has not been in close contact with your other cats. Baby Kohl, feel better soon.

    Just had his first Sulfer bath/dip. It was stinky, and his little teeth are chattering. I feel so bad for my little tyke. Makes ME want to cry for him. I have to let him air dry. I just hope this stops his itching.

    Does he have to have a bath that covers his whole body? Poor little guy...is there a heating pad you could put a towel on, or a small space heater?

    I didn't realize you DID name him Kohl! I hope that poor guy feels better soon. How long does he have to have these baths?

    HUGS to Kohl and to his caring meowmie!
