Bunny, please take care of YOU! The ringworm will pass in time from the kitties!

There is a spray that we also used on the shelter kitties to help with the affected area.

Jenn, do you happen to know the name of the spray they use? My vet suggested just plain bleach/water and spray it every where.

I do think we are on the down side of this, the ringworm seems to only be on his tail in 2 places, but we bathed all of him the other night - just to be sure. While cleaning out his room he dried off pretty quickly.

Luckily 'his' room was just tiled - no carpet any where - whew! And we took out the excersie machine (cleaned it down real good) so the only thing left in that room is Taz, litterbox, cage, food dishes and toys - they furry toys were taken away & the other toys were washed.

Now, HOW do I get it out of the room??? Or will the spraying of bleach water, and mopping with it daily will do that?

BTW- thanks Candace for searching out all the other threads for me - they were very helpful!! Thanks!

And thanks to everyone else for their suggestions - I do think we will get through this, just wondering what is next for this little guy??!!

Bunny - the bleach and water solution kills just about everything - just spray it on and don't wipe off....or at least let it stand for a couple minutes. I just left it to dry. Instead of mixing a weak solution, you might try something like Clorox Anywhere spray - this is what I keep on hand.

When we were fighting ringworm this past spring, I finally scrapped the shampoos and oral medicine because it was just too traumatic for everyone. Instead, I bought the Program and treated everyone once and Emily twice as she was the one with the active ringworm.
There are two sites I found that I keep bookmarked are as follows:
Ringworm FAQ
Ringworm battle plan

This is frustrating but it will go away. It will! Good wishes to you my friend. (((HUGS)))

Anyone that's been through this have any suggestions???? Please????!!!!

WE have!! When Zazou joined our family, she brought Ringworm with her . Inka got it,and also my hubby AND me!!

As for the cats, I had to wash them with something (forgot the name ) 3 times! My hubby had a big round spot in his neck. My kidsteased him with that . I had 2 spots on my arm. We had to put an ointmen on it during 2 weeks.

Goodluck Bunny!!!!

Oh gosh, poor you and poor kitty. Prayers on the way that you both have a full and speedy recovery and that no one else gets it. I also pray that you have no complications set in from this.

Thankfully I have never had to deal with ringworm and I pray I never will. It sounds awful.
