Connie, this is something I've never dealt with but Vicki is a good source of information on this kind of thing. I do hope you can get it figured out and get your little babies treated so they get well. -- 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, Sandy! The vet called on Sat. and I think she is on top of it. She said we may have to use the Malaseb for a couple months 'til it's completely gone! I hope none of you *ever* have this problem! BUT it's mainly in kittens. I'm going to have the carpets steam cleaned, too. The spores can live in the environment for 18 months! I think as soon as her immune system kicks in, it will start to go away. It mainly affects young animals with an immature immune system, or people who are sick or undergoing chemo, or young children. Mike said, "Don't worry, one day they'll be 15 year old cats lounging around the house." That made me feel better. (NT) -- Love, Connie, 7:47:25 am, Sun, 12/02/07
