I found ringworm on  my neck.  Treating with Monistat 7 topically.  I had it 10 years ago and can't remember if I need to go to DR and treat orally as well ??

I just did research on adopting an FIV+ cat for my 9 yo FIV- cat. I was going to adopt this cat from a rescue in Austin, TX.  The woman who runs the rescue has been a vet tech for 17 years and taught me there were no issues having an FIV+ cat unless the FIV+ cat was aggressive and prone to...

Good to know about the nauseous, TY!  It made me sick when he was licking the dip before it dried.  He seemed a tad out of sorts today so that may be why.  He seems to be coming around now almost 24 hours later. :) In reference to the dip smell....funny you mentioned the kimchi or sauerkraut...

YES this all was so very helpful !!! What was your timeline on taking cultures to decide when you could stop dipping ? So many days after discovery, start of oral meds, and/or start of the lime sulfur dips ?? Did you just do the toothbrush test or the PCR test ? If money is an issue my vet...

I DID IT !!! First Lime Sulfur for my 6 mo old kitten. TY all for your help. 1. Actual dip went so smooth as I was able to prepare with everyone's help.  Having everything out and ready to go seemed key to me.  My kitty was a champ.  At one point he just sat down ! I scruffed him with one...

My vet's time table is this: After 7 days on oral med he checks to see if its working. If oral med is working, I have a recheck in 30days (from start of oral med). If we get the "all clear" at 30 day check, he adds 2 weeks to that. So my kitten is on the "45 day plan" as I'm playing it safe...

1. Do you have to bathe the cat/kitten first before dipping to get the oils off so the dip "locks on" better ? 2. YouTube video said 1 oz of dip to 1/2 gallon of water (2oz to 1 gallon) for kittens.  My guy is 6 months old and weighs 7 lbs.  I see directions says 4 oz.  3. Is it a must to...

Hi everyone! Update and responses to several of the recent posts: (sorry for long post...its helping me so much as I write it) Today's Vet check was WONDERFUL news thanks to each and everyone of you here on TheCatSite.Com. TY all! My 6 month old kitten with 3 RW lesions and positive PCR test...

I've done a lot of cat rescue and found that giving a cat capstar when I first pick them up does wonders.  If they don't have fleas, it doesn't hurt them.  If they do have fleas, they are usually dead in the carrier by the time I get home. When I've brought a cat in that has already been...

My kitten has gotten soft stool since starting him on fluconazole. Is that a side effect by chance ? To test to see if he if done with the RW, would it be best to do another PCR test instead of the toothbrush test ? Good to know about how much Accel concentrate I'll be going through.  TY. ...

Any experience on monistat and colloidal silver first aid gel applied directly to the RW spots (with or without simultaneous oral medication) ??  I've seen posts with folks using Colloidal silver, but haven't seen monistat mentioned yet. Today I heard from a vet tech from years ago say they...

Yes.  50mg a day (25mg every 12 hours).  He is 7 lbs at 6 months.   Is it okay to crush up and put in wet food ?  My guy has been pilled and eye-dropped for 5 of his 6 months and is SO OVER IT. Ok to hid in cheese whiz ?  I know its not healthy, but does it have any additional side effects on...

So Graysan was allergic to the lime sulfur dip?    I'm soooo glad you followed your instincts and Graysan is feeling better already :) If that is the case of allergies, I find it interesting about the strong smell he had and Yong Gi did not.  Reminds me of when I was investigating perfumes for...

Thank you baileytc !  Awesome information.  I'm in the middle of Dr. Karen Moriello's shelter video now learning a lot! Good catch:  Yes I'm giving 1/4 tablet of Fluconazole every 12 hours (50 mg per day for 30 days).  If no signs this is working (I'm told its weak), vet will order the generic...

Update: Liasion above my kittens eye looked worse today so I rushed him to the vet.  I'm such a mama cat lol. Vet reminded me that cats heal differently than we do.  I had forgotten that.  So even though it looked worse to me than yesterday, good stuff happened at vet. We put him on...

Hi fellow cat lovers! I just joined and jumped into this thread, so I apologize in advance for not reading all the threads before responding.  I've read quite a few already, but when I saw the comment about Graysan and the strong smell and possible dipping reaction I wanted to share what I...
