OMG Deb!!

Did you give me enough reading or what?! Thank you!! You don't know how much I appreciate all of this information....we were talking to the vet, and laughing, she knew I had been well informed before we went in and she was quizzing me on what sites I had been looking at. I brought her in the list that you gave me, and sure enough - she also had looked at those sights.

Any way she put Lucky on Itraconazole, pills. Whereas Taz is on the same thing but it is a cream we put in his ears.

If you look on the Showcatsonline.com the Itraconazole is the next step after the program pill. So they are both on the stronger meds....we will see what will happen.

Now for some good news: Taz is no longer in quarentine Yippee!!!! Only now his brothers have to put up with this crazy little kitty that keeps on attacking them, jumping up on them and all around just being a little pain in the butt!

He just zooms around the house until he pants! Then we know it is time for a time-out.....which really means back to the room so we can all have some peace & quiet!

I am quite surprised, Lucky is really taken a likeing to Taz, they actually play together, and once Taz settles down they may even sleep together.

Yoshi on the other hand, is growling & hissing at him I'm pretty sure it is because he moves 100 miles a minute and Yoshi just doesn't like anything fast......like little kids who move 100 miles a minute

Once Taz realizes that when he is allowed out, he doesn't have to run around like a maniac, if he learns to settle down I know Yoshi will take to him.

Both Lucky & Yoshi are around him when he is out, so that is good. I know it will take some time but it is working out!

Thanks again Deb for all your help! And everyone else who helped me to understand the Program pill.....which BTW I am still thinking of buying and giving it to them anyway!!!

Pictures to come..................

Just remember... Ringworm is an AIR BORNE SPORE. It doesn't always come down to bleaching things. It can spread through the air stream in the house.

Maybe one of those heavy duty air purifiers would help?? We got an industrial strength one at the shelter. It was over $400.00 but then again, it was for the shelter with 50+ cats.

Bubba our small dog got ringworm as a puppy, luckily none of the other animals got it but I researched and the spores can stay alive for a year
