RINGWORM at the Sirrah house...argh updated 4/11/07

[sirrahbed]

When I had a ringworm outbreak 4 years ago I was given Program tablets (double up the dose) and a topical called Trezaderm. The combination worked very well. I never bathed a single kitten. I was careful not to spread ringworm, but I think adults are usually more resistant. At the time the vet said I could give Program as a preventative, so I did that, too.

Did you use the tablets? If so - how did you administer? Crush the tablets??
These dog tablets are supposed to be flavored so I hope this helps. I plan to crush and give everyone their own dose in tuna or something wet that they love. Emily will be a problem since she does not like wet food though I am hoping that a serving of tuna when she is hungry will help.

Anyone have suggestions about giving liquid meds? I have looked at some sites - just say tip head back and squirt the liquid in. ( I use a syringe) This is getting harder with each dose since the amount is a teaspoon and Emily is learning how to spit it out. Probably no easier way though - but after the choking scare this morning - I am hoping that someone can give me some better ideas.
