Hey hon.... wow, you've been dealing with this for a while now! I figured everyone would be ok by now.... I'm also VERY glad you switched vets! That first one was (insert dirty word here). If it's not culturing as ringworm, and the tx is not working, then you need to stop. You need to figure out exactly what it is. The ringworm treatment could actually be making it worse... Best of luck! I'll keep thinking about what it could be..... -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Love, Connie 's message, "Hi, Everyone! I have a ringworm question. One of the kittens we rescued seems to have ringworm. She's being seen by a vet who has prescribed Malasab shampoo once a week for 4 weeks and topical Malaseb spray twice a day. It's still spreading, though. It didn't turn green with the special Woods lamp, and the culture has been 10 days out and still hasn't grown any ringworm. The lesion keeps spreading and poor Carma doesn't have any fur now on her neck and part of her shoulder. Otherwise she seems fine - eating up a storm, playing and purring. Brock is getting baths, too, and doesn't seem to have it. He's black, so it's harder to see on him, though. Thank you for any advice you may have ~" on 11:02:50 am, Fri, 11/30/07

Thank you, V! I've heard that ringworm can grow in the culture for up to 21 days, though, so it still could be ringworm. I put some Calm Coat on it, too. I stopped by the vet and they said that would be okay as long as I kept on with the Malaseb. Uh-oh, cats are meowing for food. Got to run ~ (NT) -- Love, Connie, 6:10:33 pm, Fri, 11/30/07
