Oh no!! It's back.......

Believe it or not, my vet didn't like the 'Program' pill........maybe it is because I could purchase it off the internet cheaper than she could sell it to me? Who knows, but I just ordered some......this has gone on WAY too long for us. We have to get something done or we are going to have this forever!

We have no idea how Lucky got it. Yes, he & Taz do play underneath the door, but you would think he would get it on his front paws, not his back.....who knows. Yes, it is also very possible that we did bring it out of his room, but once again the vet told us that Lucky (age 10) and Yoshi (7 years) were old enough to NOT get it......WRONG!!!!!

Any way, the Program pills are ordered!

Bunny, I'm so sorry to hear that now Lucky has it too. I was just lucky that no one other than Starr got it in my household. I used the special shampoo on all of my cats and then started them on the program pills. My vet at the time didn't sell them so I also bought them online.

Also when Starr had his outbreak his foster mom took him back and treated him because she had many others that had ringworm too. This may have helped my other cats to not get infected. When Starr finally returned I found something that looked like ringworm on his ear so I started treating him again. I also ordered some ringworm treatment online and continued to give everyone the program pills. I sure hope that no one else will get this and that it will finally be a thing of the past. Good luck.

hi Bunny - my vet did not "like" the idea of Program either. It turns out that his vet school at the Ohio State University, is where I actually found positive references to using this medication as a promising flea treatment. Anyway, that is what finally got rid of ringworm here. I quit the scrubbing, bathing and $100 prescription. I still was a bit of a clean freak and handwasher - but I believe it was the Program that took care of the ringworm. I gave Emily two largest dog tablets (one initially and a repeat the next month) I gave one dose to the remaining kitties as prevention. My cats gobbled up the tablets like a treat, too I bet this does the trick, Bunny. Good luck!

ARG! I bet that is fustrating after all that work. Lets hope the Program does the trick and clears it up.

Oh NO! I'm sorry, Bunny, but it sounds like the Program is worth a try! Sirrahbed seems to have had great results with it!

Deb-

Can you please give me the web site where you bought your Program pill from?

How did you know how much to give to each cat, and most importantly, can Taz come out of quarentine now??????

Poor baby hasn't seen the rest of the house since he has been here! He wants O-U-T !!! -and so do I!

Thanks again for all the help on this subject!
