Thank you @silent meowlook

Just following up on this. The culture results came back and they are growing, aka it is fungus. The vet thinks yes to ringworm then, though now they are doing that second type to see what kind of fungus. I am already so exhausted. The kittens have our bedroom, and I've been cleaning like...

Thanks again; that's helpful. We scheduled a follow-up appointment at the vet next week so we will ask about that, too. I did mention the sneezing and anything else I could think of when we took her in earlier. In the meantime we will work really hard to keep the environment sanitized...

That's promising. I really hope it isn't. Yes to sneezing. Their foster told us she thought they had a cold and took them to the vet before we adopted them, telling us "they received a shot and have had meds for 10 days ... we feel it is a virus and needs to run its course." They aren't...

Here is the latest picture, too.

And I have been feeding the kittens wet and dry kitten food that is chicken-based -- so an allergy is on my list, too. They are using the litterbox and eating just fine.

Oh, and no air fresheners in the house. We have 2 cat-safe plants in the living room that the cats haven't paid attention to, with a few other plants in an office that is closed off to them (they can't go in there). There are closed essential oils in a closet, but they are not being actively...

Great to question it, @silent meowlook . The vet suggested 1% OTC clotrimazole twice daily on the affected areas, rubbed in well, and then play/distract them for at least 10 minutes so that it can dry. They said if they end up licking any of it, it's so small that it should be harmless. But...

Thank you for the product tip, @silent meowlook ! The vet did not do the light test. Honestly, they seemed pretty stumped. She said ringworm might be a possibility (hence swabbing for it) but said it didn't look like typical ringworm to her. She suggested meantime that we use OTC fungicide on...

Thank you, @mani. The vet didn't do a lamp test, but took culture samples, and we are waiting for the lab results.

Here are photos of her nose.

My kitten has a lesion and it is also on her nose. The vet has sent in tests to the lab and we are waiting on results. This kitten has a littermate, and they are inseparable. We don't even have an extra room in the house to separate them (if they would even let us). So as I think about the...

@JenRiri did you find out what the issue was? My kitten has something similar and we are also awaiting culture results. I have been curious if she has a food allergy.
