Catnapper Castle -- ringworm's HERE!

I would get the shampoo as fast as possible and bathe all of them just in case.

I just thought of something...is it possible she picked it up while at the vet?

[catmandu]

That could be an idea,as Mr Scrappy once picked up fleas,at the Vets,he was an apartment Cat,and he didnt have them,when he left here!

OMG, Kim, you and your kitties are going through so much these weeks...

Let's hope nobody else in your house has ringworm!

Ringworm is such a pain in the rear. I also wonder if she might have gotten it at the vet if none of the other kitties have it. ???

How awful. I know first hand the worry. It is good that Angel can get check out by the vet Monday, then you can say you know for sure whether she has it or not.

I also feel bad for those people that adopted the girls. Now they will have to deal with this too.

I'm so sorry to hear this. For some reason, ringworm seems to be very prevalent this year. I received an e-mail from Starr's foster mom saying that her new foster kittens are now breaking out with it, the shelter that she works with has a major outbreak of it, and several other foster moms have kittens that are breaking out with it. The shelter used to give program to all of the cats to help prevent the spread of fleas but stopped due to financial reasons. Program has also been proven to protect against ringworm and now they have a major outbreak and are quarantining the shelter.

When I took Starr in the first time he broke out, I was told that there are 3 kinds of ringworm and that one of them doesn't glow under the black light. I sure hope that none of your cats or kittens have this. They may be safe since
the kittens broke out after they were in their new home. Good luck and please keep us updated.

Ugh! I'm sure glad they let you know so you can be on the lookout. Hopefully you're aware early enough to nip it in the bud if it actually does show up at your house. But I'm hoping even more that it never shows it's ugly face at your house!
