RINGWORM at the Sirrah house...argh updated 4/11/07

I had a case of ringworm here with our rescues. I used medicated shampoo and katoconasol (sorry if it spelt wrong). I got the cream over the counter at my local walmart. It worked well, but be carefull, it is HIGHLY contagious to humans. The best thing is to wash everything and keep her away from any other animals, wear gloves when bathing her and medicating her. I never used the oral meds due to the fact it is VERY hard on their tummies. Good luck and keep us posted. You can try any cream, as long as it is stated it is for ringworm. Human creams are just the same as vet prescribed creams, just cheaper.

I don't know anything about ringworm-


But, on the baby food, READ the label and make sure there is NO onions in it. We use the Gerber 2nd foods, usually the Turkey or Chicken. I also learned (the hard way) NOT to use the Ham - seems ham is hard on their system


I cannot believe that you got ringworm!! Becareful and buy lots of bleach!!

Good luck Deb!
