Is it common for ringworm to get worse before it gets better? Our vet said we caught it very early and should not take too long for him to heal. It went from a small spot on his left ear to now nearly taking over his ear and moving to the inside of his ear. I feel so bad for the little guy, not...

We were able to get in today instead of next week, and I'm very glad we did. Turns out it is ringworm. So here goes to treating the entire household and trying to clear all this up. Fingers crossed it goes quickly and smoothly

I first noticed it on his paw a few days ago, and thought perhaps it was rough skin or something (allergies perhaps due to all the flowers and trees in bloom) but then I noticed the scab on his ear today. So it seems to be reversed of what you are telling me, but I will definitely try lamisil...

I looked at the pictures, and I dont seem to see anything that looks like this. But I could be wrong. Here are a couple pictures I was able to get. The one on the ear is like one giant scab, and then the photo I was able to get of his paw, he has 2 more toes that have this same issue. I am...

Our poor little Gatsby just can't seem to catch a break. We solved his tummy issues and is doing great in that regard. However now we have noticed he has a rough, scab like patch on the back of his left ear and now 2 of his paw pads have this same type of look around them. We have another vet...

We adopted Gatsby 2 weeks ago from our local SPCA. When we adopted him he was 9 weeks and a whopping 1.5 pounds. Within the first weekhe gained a whole pound but then fell ill. After some litterbox issues, and a few trips to the vet, and some weight loss, he's back on track! Today's visit to the...

Thanks! I certainly hope so! We had a minor accident last night, but he not only used his box in our bathroom, he actually went to the other side of the house several times to use the community boxes! :clap: needless to say we were incredibly proud of him!

Well we have solved the mystery to Gatsby's accidents. After battling severe diarrhea for nearly a week and 2 trips to the vet, we have decided that due to all the stress on his little body, the diarrhea drained him of fluids so badly that is also caused a minor bladder infection. So the course...

Thanks so much :wavey: haha, no only the dog comes when called. Minnie the cat looks at you like "how dare you disturb my peace, no I will only ignore you now" it's quite funny!

Thanks for the info. The kitten is on kitten food, in talking about switching him, I only meant brands. We free feed him as our vet suggested, but he stressed canned as well but wants dry food to supplement. We are not able to feed on a schedule because it's rare that someone is always home. I...

Well I am new to this site, between my boyfriend and I we had 2 dogs and 2 cats, but recently got a kitten for me, so our final count is 3 cats 2 dogs. There is Charlie a 13 year oldGerman shepherd/chow mix, Minnie a 2.5 year old chi weenie, Minnie a 4 year old black and white DSH (yes we have 2...

My boyfriend has 2 adult cats, and we just adopted a kitten for me about a week ago. He had his girls on some cheap indoor food, and allowed them to free feed. Due to this they are incredibly overweight. They range in ages 3-5 years. Our new kitten is only 10 weeks, and has a healthy appetite...

Thanks for the tips. Ok for the first question we clean his litterbox a minimum once a day but it has been usually twice or more. We were not told what type of litter was used at the shelter, so let's assume the answer is yes. The adult boxes he occasionally uses in the laundry room, one is a...
