I feel like I'm constantly having problems with cats, ever since we adopted our shelter-rescue, Domino. Our other cat, Tazo, was about a month older than Domino, and she was a stray kitten that followed us home. She never had any problems. Domino seemed fine, but shortly after having him home...

I have a cat who went from being sweet and friendly and loving toward her adopted companion - until a couple months ago, and now acts as if she's never known him. Last year, Tazo, a female orange tabby with one tiny black spot on her side, followed my husband and I home during one of our...

Belated update- Tazo and Domino are ringworm free - with the help of the great outdoors. In the beginning of summer, we started allowing them to roam freely inside and outside (due to our living situation, they seemed a lot happier that way.) As they played around outside, I'd spray down all...

Update; I mixed the last of my Lime Sulfur dip with a 2 oz spray bottle, so I can spray the cats down rather than dip them.  The last time I dipped them, they were so rily it was difficult for me to keep them in the bucket; they're just much stronger than they were when they were younger. It's...

A better policy would be to treat all new cats/kittens with a lime sulfur dip, like many shelters have. Yes, I've had the oral treatment for the cats, and it barely did anything. When we took them back to get tested again, the vet (a different one this time) told us we should have dipped them...

False alarm! -__- As of early May, we allowed our kittens into our room with us, so no more cooping them up, and after about a week Tazo's ears began to "glisten" and flake. Immediately, I applied antifungal, and began treating Domino at the same time. (My eldest cat, Autumn, is sadly no longer...

It's been two months since my last update and, at last, I can say with a only a hair of hesitation that our cats are "cured" I've opened the rooms up and they're so much happier. We haven't gotten them tested for it again, but plan on it when we take Tazo to get her spayed (hoping to do that...

Update! We have no idea if the cats have ringworm or not, now! As it appears, Tazo still has a chunk of hair missing in her tail, and it still appears as if it's growing back - although now there is a scabby thing there. It could be ringworm, it could be a wound from constant itching the area...

Thanks...  If it isn't gone by March, I'm definitely going to see a doctor. I hate to do so, but I'm spending more money anyway just trying to do it any other way.  I'm not even sure if it's "in" my eyebrow - it's just a hair above it. That eyebrow isn't as thick as the other, but I'm not sure...

Updating because it's been a while. We're still dealing with it, but things have gotten a LOT better. I've failed to deep clean as often as I need, but have been spraying Lysol ever other day as I remember. We got the medicine from the vet two weeks ago, and got rid of a lot more stuff, swept...

MrBlanche, while they are present at all times, my use of the word "eradication" refers to killing off the high concentrated levels of spores that cause ringworm infection. I understand (having Google'd my mind out, which is pretty much why I'm fighting myself with being paranoid...) that...

I'd look elsewhere. Check local papers: I see ads for free kittens all the time. You're saving kittens either way, but at least you don't risk another afflicted kitten.

Normal, I think. Our kitten, Tazo, is an orange tabby with one, very very small, gray spot on her side. We thought she was male until a recent vet visit. I didn't think cats could have so much of one color, then suddenly - a small isolated spot of a different color. So, it sounds pretty normal...

EB24, do you know if spraying Lysol will do for everyday disinfectant, and perhaps use the bleach solution twice a week or so? I have a solution already made, and have been using it about twice a week, wiping down all surfaces the cats sleep on. 

We recently adopted a kitten to give our other kitten some company for when my husband began his job, and because I work 32 hours a week as well. We have a total of 3 now; 9 year old Autumn, 7 month old Tazo, and the new guy- 5 month old Domino. Little did we know, the animal shelter has an...
