This spot started out as just a thin spot. It's not completely bare-even now-with a little dandruff. He's had dandruff since this started or maybe even before but I didn't notice? He had it when he was cultured 5 weeks ago-the one that was definitively negative. They took samples from several...

So Butter had a culture four weeks ago that was negative. We should be in the clear, however, he developed a spot on his shoulders during that time that we had cultured and so far it's negative (it's only been 11 days though). The vet thought that was just an allergic reaction to fleas but he's...

when you say that Shakti was developing another lesion what do you mean? what is it you see that indicates a lesion? Butter was looking amazing but had some thinness on the back of his neck and shoulders. today he had a nickel sized spot that was thin with short hair. there isn't a lesion per...

I'm wishing you luck! Butter ran out of his oral meds on Sunday. I'm going to call the vet today. I forgot to yesterday. I thought they were supposed to go for 30 days (he was on fluconazole). The new vet thought he looked good and took some samples a week ago tomorrow. She said to keep dipping...

We saw a new vet one Wednesday. She's at a cat hospital. She went through ringworm at her house a year ago. I feel so much better with her on the case. She was empathetic and didn't rush me through my questions or dismiss my concerns. She said that Butter looks like a cat that is halfway through...

I've seen Dr. Moriello's protocols before. I'm really frustrated with this vet. I mentioned that all of the protocols say to use oral meds and when telling me he didn't want to he said, "Maybe the question to ask is why are all those vets using oral meds when they are dangerous?" His...

I wish Shakti luck! I hope she gets better soon. I noticed that Butter is now losing hair kind of all over the place along his sides and neck. His back legs look scabby. They weren't scabby on Friday. I'm so confused. I talked to the president of the rescue group who is arranging for Butter to...

Did you clip Shakti? I took Butter back for a follow up and the vet said that his head appears to be full of ringworm. This makes sense since he got a bacterial infection a week in and we couldn't treat his head. I treated him on Friday with the lime sulfur and when I looked at him on Monday...

one of the people I know in rescue had it come through and she only used lime sulfur. she said no need to treat the other two anymore. also, if the spots on his head where he was clipped for his bacterial infection actually have ringworm, would hair grow back there?

i asked about oral meds and the vet wouldn't budge. she wouldn't give them. we have only topical and lime sulfur dips. the dog who brought it here and had probably 10 spots got rid of it with only lime sulfur. he's finished his treatment and so far so good. we aren't culturing until the end of...

so we are starting week three of treatment. we're not treating his head because of the infection which is actually much much better now. did any of you treat non-affected animals? we have been treating all three of ours and neither of the other two have any symptoms. i'm wondering if it's...

it also concerns me that he is in there with the cat who isn't affected but whom we're treating anyhow. I worry she has a better chance of getting it.

well I ws thinking that about his head but he still tested positive on his back legs. I was thinking perhaps he was a 'dust mop' rather than having a full case of ringworm. Maybe just in denial. I don't know what the vet thinks. we are building a temporary door for the laundry room.

ugh. He got out of the laundry room and roamed the house during the night. do I have to re-clean everything? he has been dipped with lime sulfur 3 times and has had the miconazole for 10 days.

he has a massive bacterial infection all over his head. He had a shot of antibiotics and we are giving mupirocin on his spots until they heal. they shaved his head. They said no more lime sulfur or miconazole on his head until further notice. I'm thinking he never had ringworm on his head and...
