Hi Maureen! Soooo happy to hear about the negative culture!!!! Yay!!! The end is near!!! What a story though about almost loosing her and your injuries! I am so happy you and her are ok. Yes totally take some time off lay on your couch and do nothing! You deserve it !!!

Hi Maureen,  I bought this black light to screen my cat and it helped a lot. It's not 100% accurate but it does help in figuring out if there are still a lot of spores on the skin. You need a black late that has 365nm wave length (the wavelength that detects ringworm spores) like this...

Hi Maureen! I'm happy to help! This will definitely pass, and it is SO not your fault that the cat has ringworm. My husband too was unhappy about me adopting a ringworm cat, but now our cats are ringworm clear and nothing but love. All worth it I think. I know if I hadn't adopted Oscar, and...

Also Maureen if you feel up to the dips, you will definitely need a second person. One person to hold Rosie in the tote, and the second person to apply the Lime and Sulfur. It's way too hard to do on your own, I learned that the hard way :) The lady on the video has a really easy cat - my cat...

Hi Maureen,  I am soooo sorry you are dealing with this. You are a wonderful caring person for taking this cat in and treating her back to health - you are doing a very hard but strong thing for Rosie try to remember that as you continue. Ringworm is a major pain in the ass, but it will be over...

Oh my god Angieflux!!!! I cannot believe this vet wanted to euthanize the kittens !! What is wrong with people ! I would post terrible reviews on yelp and warn people. If they wanted to euthanize for ringworm, who knows what else they euthanize for inappropriately. So sad!! In addition to the...

Hi Andreanora,  I feel so bad for you!! You sound exactly like how I sounded a few months ago when we were on our 6th month of treating ringworm. I have learned a lot since than and will share with you my experiences and recommendations - we might have gotten extreme towards the end with...

Cleaning question... I'm rethinking how we have cleaned walls and floors. For the walls we sponged them with Lysol multipurpose spray and water. Do you think it would be more effective to vacuum the walls? I think people mentioned they had swiffered the walls but since we have previously washed...

Thanks Bunnelina just bought a gallon of the Health Guard. I know I seem crazy right now just trying to cover every loop hole possible as how she could have gotten re-infected....Izzy is the only one showing signs, fortunately me and my husband and Oscar have not yet. But we are dipping Oscar as...

Thanks Bunnelina, we do have a good HEPA vacuum that I bought with also self sealing, it's a Kenmore Progressive. I Just got home and am a mess.... Izzys spot has gotten worse and visually I'm almost certain it's ringworm. I feel utterly overwhelmed. I think we should wash all the clothes in our...

Bunnelina good suggestion on the cold air not a bad idea for sure…. I'll think on that one. Might be worth a shot I could go room by room and open all the windows for a day or so…. I'm wondering also if instead of washing the walls again, if vacuuming the walls would be a better idea. Maybe I...

Thanks so much for your kind words and the candle maybe that will help cure us over here! We do not have air ducts just forced hot air through our floor radiators which I cleaned as best I could. Thank you for the encouragement, I agree with you that it seems impossible to keep her isolated...

Hi all its me again! I was going to post a few weeks ago that we finally had two negative cultures but didn't want to jinx myself. I must have jinxed it anyways as Izzy has developed an itchy red spot on her head since she's funally been loose in the house. I am devastated and feel so upset and...

Hey Sozee I got a black light too I got this one from EBay and it worked great! My cat Izzy lit up like crazy when she first had it. Now there's nothing left which is awesome. It doesn't over rule a culture but helped me a lot to see where she for sure still had spores. I researched types of...

I did I used Terbinafine too, one week on one week off. But I know some people have done two weeks on two weeks off. It is effective but doing the lime sulfur dips are the most effective I have found. Because they are killing all the spores on their fur quickly. Are you doing dips twice a week...
