Oh no..... ringworm!!!!

One day, Lut, they will thank you for this...

Good luck next Tuesday.

Have you thought of asking an off-duty vet nurse to come over and help you? For a small fee I am sure she would. A lot of vet nurses here do holiday cat feeding/cat medicating/dog walking etc as a second job while owners are away.
Worth a thought perhaps. The other person (above) who suggested the pet groomers/bathers had a good idea too.

I have NO idea where I can find a person like that! Never heard of it before... . All vets here work alone; there is a vet clinic in Ghent, but it is part of the university school for vets. Everybody who "works" there are either students or professors. I have NO idea if they would be willing to do this job

About groomers: I have no experience with that too . It is a good idea though!! I could have a look on the internet if there are any in the neighbourhood!

Little Inka is very upsetnow. I took her up twice to rub her a bit dry; the first time she peed on my trousers (yuckie smell ), and the second time on the floor! The poor thing is really miserable.....

Why not try calling the university and explaining about your blood condition and that you would really appreciate some help and ask if one of the more senior students would like to help for a small fee (students are always needing money for books, general living expenses etc) They might let you put a notice on the student food-hall noticeboard?

P.S. Most vets in Australia have vet nurses and it is a recognised training course. I often see them advertising in coffee-shop windows and vet waiting rooms that they will feed/walk pets while owners are away. Must be an Australia thing, I don't seem to recall it in England,when I lived there, come to think of it.

Oh, what a horror!! One done, three to go.

I think it's a good idea to get someone to come and help, one of the vet students sounds like a good option. I hope you'll get throgh this with no injuries!

I know I would never be able to bathe Fister alone.

Best of luck!

Lut, I'm so sorry to hear that you have to go through this dreaded ringworm outbreak. Hopefully you'll be able to get some help and that your cats will recover quickly and no one else will break out. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are on the way. Star says it takes a while to recover but soon all of your furkids will be just fine.

When I had to bathe my cats, I put the shampoo in a spay bottle with water so all I had to do was spray it on the cats and this made it easier to bathe them. Good luck and please keep us updated. I've also heard that once a cat has ringworm and recovered from it that they will then be resistant to it in the future.

WOW, I wonder if this is true. It would sure be nice to think that the cats that had the ringworm won't get it again.

THIS IS WASHING DAY NR2 !!!!And I found NOBODY willing to help me . So, I will put on my old wintercoat too, and start with Maya, the most difficult one. I have no idea if I am allowed to wash Zazou already? He spaying was 2 weeks ago (thursday), and the wound is completely closed and healed. Even her hair is growing back!
Any advise??
