Are you on her payroll? 

Well, all I know is this: using miconazole shampoo as well as oral meds and lime sulfur dip helped Sonny get over his ringworm. IT WORKED FOR US.  I followed the doctor's instructions, as well as the instructions on the LimePlus bottle, and methinks the PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING - my kitten is...

I can take the yarn balls and expose them to sunlight, in clear plastic bags. It's still very warm here in Florida and the UV rays kill spores. 

Gus has been in the room where the yarn is, but he doesn't get ON or IN the yarn if it's in rolls or balls. If it's made into a scarf or afghan, yes, he'll lay on it. But he's very good about not messing with my skeins and rolls. He knows it isn't a toy for him. Sonny's exposure to my yarn has...

So....I don't have to give up the yarn I have in my craft room? I've spent, over the last seven years, thousands of dollars in yarn.... OH.....I almost forgot....I spread this afghan out on my couch to take a photo and I turn my back for 5 minutes and Gus is napping on it. Do I have to throw it...

How does an ant eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.  Keep kitty isolated. Start treatments for this cat. Order LimePlus online and use it according to the instructions. And as far as cleaning goes, if you have to take it one room at a time, just do it that way. Don't kill yourself; take...

I too followed the directions on the LimePlus bottle, as well as our doctor's instructions. Both indicated to wash the cat in the shampoo first. I put it down to removing topical medications from the cat's coat, that the lime sulfur can more easily access the hair and skin where the spores are. ...

I WISH my kitten's treatment had lasted only 2 weeks!! It was more like 6 weeks, maybe even 8 weeks, and now my older cat has come down with it so now it may be another, what, 6 weeks or more before HE is over it!  Two weeks. TWO weeks. I bloody well WISH.  Two. Weeks.  Hah.  I wish people...

OK. Gus' condition isn't nearly as horrible as Sonny's got to be. I guess that's why they shaved him.

Oh yes, so far as I know, ringworm is a skin disorder, not a fur disorder. But removing the fur might allow easier transfer of medicines directly to the skin, and also reduce breeding ground for the spores, or so I was thinking.  Sonny had been shaved a couple of times during his treatment, and...

Does anyone know if shaving Gus would help him? Is it best to shave a cat who has ringworm? Or is it not really  necessary?

I wasn't sure if Sonny would love me after these treatments but he is every bit as sweet as the day is long; I'm well forgiven. He mews and purrs for me and is happy to see me, etc.  While he was going through it, I'm sure he felt miserable and wasn't the perky kitten he had been.  Just like...

Just as an aside, I just got an "apology" from Gus-Gus. I had to chase him around the apartment to get the miconazole lotion on him, and this made him rather angry. Well, I think I got him treated (it's under his chin, which is hard to get to) and I had him in his little barrel that he naps in...

If they have ringworm, make sure you bleach the hell out of any brushes and combs you use on them! Otherwise you'll spread it!

Want to see photos of how bad it got: This is my cat blog, and I took lots of pictures: http://flcatbloggin.blogspot.com/2016/12/sonnys-ringworm.html  

Quick update on Sonny: his ringworm seems to have cleared up. The vet said one more bath & dip (he got that today) and next week, shampoo only. Lesions on him are gone. No more miconazole lotion for him, no more oral meds. He's acting like his active kitteny self again.  Update on Gustav: he...

Lamisil cream can be used on a cat??

I just had a horrible thought. We live in Florida. I often put Sonny on our sunny porch during the day, because the idea of him staying closed up in that box of a bathroom (which has no windows so he gets no natural light or has anything to see but four walls) seems like it'd be mentally...

I am washing and bleaching things like mad. It is improving so that is good.
