[QUOTE=kimlovescats]I am puzzled as well, Lorraine! That first picture of Mooky sure looks like ringworm to me and the last one of Lindy Lou does too!
Kim, I really don't think it is ringworm because this seems to have started back in October with Mooky and no one in the family has gotten any sores, rashes or bites. Nothing at all for that matter.
It's quite red and sore looking so that has me puzzled. Maybe she was just scratching it too much? Do they have any of these around their faces and ears? Do they look dry and scaly at all?
The second picture is from a hard scab, that when you feel it, you swear there is a piece of claw stuck in their skin. When they pick the scab off, that is the type of sore that appears. But when they stop licking it, it scabs over again. They don't scratch as much as they do lick. No, they don't have any on their face or ears. The sores are mainly on the back of their necks, down the spine and some on the side of their bodies. Nothing on the tummy or legs. Once they stop licking the sore, it becomes dry and scaly.
I'm so sorry about all of this! I know it is very frustrating and worrysome for you!!!!
[I]It is very frustrating, but it's nothing compared to what others are going through with their babies, especially poor Jen. That's why I hadn't mentioned anything until now.
Donna; I looked up Sarcopic Mange and I don't think it's that as it is also contagious to humans. Like I mentioned above, no one has gotten any kind of reaction from this and everyone has been in close contact with the cats.
I want to thank all of you for your thoughts and ideas in regards to this. I really appreciate it and will bring up your suggestions to the vet tonight when we bring in Poppy & Nugget. I will update you later.
