4 feline, thanks for the good info! At least you're not alone, because I've gotten the fungus too. Did you know you can use the cream that people use for athlete's foot on the spots?
As far as experience with cats getting it, the only experience I've had is at the cat rescue where I do volunteer work. We have a room full of healthy cats, and a separate room full of cats with ailments. These are the cats that we see last, so we don't spread any of the ailments. We have had an outbreak of ringworm. I've never seen it so bad, but yes...it usually shows up first on the face. One of the poor kittens at the rescue has it so bad that he is almost completely bald. I don't think the medication should be as expensive your sister paid, Howie. I could be mistaken though. For the cats that have ringworm at our rescue, we use 2 different topical medications plus an oral medication. All three are for the really bad cases like the little kitten. He's doing really well, and we're all hoping that he'll get through this tough time!!!
