I've got ringworm going on right now with 5 foster kittens, it's not an easy problem to deal with. If your cat has a sensitive stomach you can get prescription shampoo from the vet and bathe her 2x a week for 8 weeks. You will also need to frequently was bedding and have the carpets cleaned.

Hi all! I found this site and hope to become an active member. I'm owned by 5 kitties (one sphynx, hence, baldkitty). I also have 5 fosters at the moment so I'm up to my eyeballs in kitties, poop and fur. Michelle
