Kitten pictures too!!!! Bluestar is great - you'll see and remember a Qtip and really rub it in. I used my fingers the first time and washed my hands real good afterwards but it works better to really rub it in with a qtip... Everything will work out!!! Debbie

Gary, luckily ringworm isn't actually "worms" .. it is just a fungus .. very much like athlete's foot!

Almost every time I've rescued a kitten, its had ringworm. Its insane to think that this is reason to kill . Also, every time a kitten has ringworm, I get it, almost always on my leg. Having been through this I speak from experience....Lamisil is the best OTC ringworm med (at least for people, check with your vet before using on a kitten). By the fourth or fifth day, I have to use a Sharpie on my leg, so I'll know where to keep putting the medicine because the pink and the itch disappear so quickly....Hope you and the kitties get better...

You have gotten such wonderful advice and great incouragement from everyone, that i'm so glad to read that it had made you feel better.

Hang in there dear friend and take one day at a time.

We all love you and are here for you.
