We have been dealing with ringworm for the last 6 weeks


We got a new kitty back in June, he was full of earmites, so we quarentined him from Lucky & Yoshi. As the mites were clearing up I began to break out with wierd skin patches, so off to the doctors I go......the only thing they could think of was ringworm, because of the new kitty.

Taz goes back to the vet, the first time they checked him for RW he was negative. When we went back the second time, again the UV light proved negative, so she did a test on his fur, negative. She did another test, this one took 3 days, sure enough...... Now his quarentine was another 6 weeks!

We cleaned the house with bleach water, cleaned everything in sight. Vaccummed, mopped, used bleach with laundry - I swear that the house was so disenfectied that no living being could catch anything in the house!

Fast foward to last Thursday.....We were watching TV and talking, seems Taz was doing good, nothing has happened for 3 weeks, we planned to wait one more week then let him out. As I was sitting there petting Lucky, I felt something on his hind leg..........UGH - Ringworm!!!!! oh crap.

Took him to the vet the next day, sure enough. So we are now treating Lucky and Taz for ringworm, and Taz has been out of quarentine for a few days now. Boy, is he ever happy!!

But, RW is airborne , if you look up my name, and all my recent threads, you will find the RW one. Several links on there that will help you better understand what is going on.

Wash your hands!! Be careful, and read up on it. Make sure the kitties are away from the one with RW - although like I said it is airborne, so watch out.

If you need any more help, PM me, I will be more than happy to share with you what I have learned.

Good luck!
