Had you been treating area biopsied with anti fungal cream ? If so it will not grow, giving a false neg.

We got our 8 month old 8 weeks ago. She doesn't get on kitchen counters, doesn't mess with glasses of water, doesn't knock stuff off shelves. She gets in bed with the dog. She leaves me alone to sleep at night. She doesn't scratch the furniture and she shares her toys with the dog. I'm pretty...

How long since the other cat had fip ? Isn't it contagious ?

My culture took a full 2 weeks to grow and confirm. This is standard. Most vets will begin oral treatment right away. My cat was nearly cured after two weeks and the culture was confirmed. I'd hate to think how things would have spread. Perhaps you should start treatment now. It's best to nip RW...

Wormer won't prevent ring worm because RW is a fungus. My cat has this and she gets intrafingol once daily. It's working.

I don't have any concrete advice but an incision that is got to the touch and is red, could also indicate infection. Has the vet seen it since turning red

When my cat had fip, the vet drained some fluid off her abdomen to ease her breathing issues. If your kitty does have dip, that may help. I feel for you. Hugs.

Our rescue is recovering nicely from ringworm. When the vet first examined her, I brought up the fact she sneezes allot, has watery eyes at times and a bit of eye discharge. The vet didn't seem concerned. The eye discharge isn't/ wasn't profuse or green, breathing sounds good. She said she may...

She seems to be healing up nicely. The lesion is still bald, and discolored. It became very flaky and the sick looking skin flaked / scab fell off and the new akin looks better. The skin is still black tho. I cleaned the house with clorox wipes, vacuumed well and mopped all the surfaces...

All cats are different. When I had my first cat spayed it was much like your situation. Hated the cone, hated me, woukd not sit still. I toook her cone off because she was so distressed by it. I watched her for several hours abd fwld sure she seemed uninterested in her stitches. Went to sleep...

Some strains of probiotics can cause diareah. I would ask if that was a possibility. I use canned pumpkin for diareah. 1 or two tablespoons. Kitty loved it. Firms up stools but they stay soft. Your kitty may benefit from a less rich diet til his system settles.

We had a cat with mega colon. Cisapride is what she took. She never had an enema. If she went one day without pooping she would be fed one teaspoon mineral oil, plain, on a saucer. It lubricated the stool. Olive oil is absorbed into the gut. Has to be mineral oil. Wet food diet, low in fiber. We...

Has your kitty been xrayed to check for mega colon?

Ugh. Spelling errors.

Hey Stephen thanks for the advice. I have a teeny lesion but I am treating it . I'm letting her on my lap but it kills me not to touch and kids and cuddle her as before. I feel like the cleaning I have done is probably sufficient. I'll probably do it every few days. Regarding contagious...did...

Thank you. I keep reading about bathing her. I really hope it doesn't get to that ! Do you know at what point after starting intrafungol, she can be handled normally, access to rest of house ? Is there a way to tell?

Honey I feel for you. It sounds like you got in over your head. You need to give yourself permission to do what you need to do , even if that's taking him back to the shelter. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, a pet isn't a good fit. Take him back ans get an older kitten (8month or so) when...

Is it possible this kitty could have the dry form of rip? Regarding feeding, when I had a sick kitty (fip) I was unable to force feed her. Kitty did not like the distress of it. What she did lile was sardines packed in oil (stinky and even sick kitty's usually will garner an interest) And...
