I'm doing the same thing -- mixed up a small batch for the spray bottle and I'm not doing the full dip.  I've been shampooing her with medicated shampoo to get the topicals out of her fur, rubbing excess water out of her fur, and then dousing her neck and nape with the small batch of lime sulfur...

I'm pretty sure -- the spots I saw were in the same locations as her earlier lesions (the fur has grown back in but is still shorter and darker so I know where they were). But I do think it's early, so I hope one more course will knock it out. I did dip #2 last night after 3 days of...

Aaaaand, the ringworm is back.  About three weeks after stopping the terbinafine (which she took for two months straight), and after 10 sulphur lime dips!  I don't think it would have made any difference if I had brought her in earlier for another culture, frankly, since I would have had her...

Yes, it's been two months.  But the vet didn't say we should finish the second course before doing the panel...she wanted us to come in 2-3 weeks after the last negative PCR, and that was last week.  The meds are pretty much done now, so...I guess I should bring her in, even though it seems kind...

Hooray!  Congratulations!  That's such a relief.  I haven't taken Zuzu in yet for the last screen.  It's been something like three weeks since the last PCR.  TBH, I'm totally not worried. All her hair is in again -- the fur is just a little shorter still where the lesions were and in one spot...

We just went ahead and gave Zuzu freedom during the day. Her fur is growing in really rapidly now and her skin is normal and pink, no scaliness or flaking. I applied some of the mousse the other day and it makes her fur a little sticky, but we'll do it for a few weeks until she's officially...

Just got off the phone with the vet. Zuzu's PCR was negative BUT because her skin has been so flaky around the lesions and the prior PCR was positive, she wants to see another negative PCR in a few weeks. Yay...and argh. So we are upping the terbinafine dosage and continuing it (Zuzu is...

And good point about the pulse therapy...I'll wait until my vet calls in a day or so and figure out what to do... thanks!

HOORAY!!!!!!

Coming up on 30 days...the vet wrote the prescription with a refill, but maybe I should call and ask again before I do it. We're almost out, and if it's positive, I think we have to keep going, no?

So glad to hear your kittens got over the isolation! Zuzu was so mad at me after the vet visit today... :(

Crossing my fingers for you! I took Zuzu in this morning for the PCR. The first culture was negative and the first PCR was positive, so the vet said the PCR could have been a false positive and the first culture could also have been wrong (argh) but she felt that if this next PCR is negative...

Wow. I have not had that reaction to the lime sulfur dip and I am allergic to sulfa drugs, so I expected some kind of reaction. I know some cats can be asymptomatic and not have the lesions, but still carry ringworm. Zuzu is at the point where the skin is discolored in some places (could be a...

Yeah, I have done most of the dips (#9 this morning...Zuzu's 10th) without gloves, on the theory that if I'm soaking in lime sulphur I'm not going to get ringworm. And my skin is definitely dry. But it's an all-over dry, not the kind of flakiness that Zuzu has just on the places where her...

Good luck! I hope you're all in the clear soon! I am seeing a lot of flakiness and dryness on Zuzu's skin where she had lesions. I'm hoping it's just a reaction to all the topical sand not a resurgence in the ringworm. She not losing any more hair and the hair is growing back in everywhere...
