Well I have both good news and bads. Starr doesn't have coccidia any more but he does have ringworm. His foster mom had e-mailed a reply to me before I took him to the vets and she said that he probably had it because she has an infected kitten with it now. Even though she tries to be as careful as she can, she some how gave it to Starr. The 2 brothers in with the kitten with ringworm don't have it though and so far the 2 kittens that were in with Starr don't have it either. The foster mom doesn't have it yet either.

She offered to treat him for me and since I'm going out of town this weekend I decided to let her do it. I did have him checked out by the vet to confirm everything and I bought the special shampoo and spray for him too. It may take at least 2 weeks before he's not contagious any more and it could take up to 4 weeks. He was very scared at the vets and was kind of scared back at his foster mom's house. He knows I'm his new mommy and it was so hard to say goodbye to him. I'm going to miss him terribly but I know that I needed to separate him from my other furkids.

Just to be safe, I gave Storm, Sunny, and Sky a bath today. I put some of the special shampoo in a spray bottle and added some water to it and then put them in my shower and sprayed them down. I had to leave this on them for 10 minutes and then I filled up a pitcher of water to rinse them off. Sky was the easiest and Storm sounded like I was killing him. I took some pictures and will start a new thread about my wet humiliated boys. I also bleached Starr's dog crate and the carrier he was in and I sprayed the areas where he's been with some antifungal mixture that the foster mom gave me. I also threw out the few toys that Starr was playing with and I'll wash his bed too. This sure wasn't the kind of weekend that I had planned.

Thanks again for all of your help and nice comments.
