I was done treating my kitties for ringworm on Setp. 11. I have just started treating one of the dogs for it. Ringworm is tough to get rid of. Are you putting both kitties in the bathroom? or letting them loose through the house?

Now im letting them run through the house... the bathroom isnt working.. we have a semi small apartment and with one bathroom Osiris is always escaping.. so now i am a slave to cleaning with bleach every damned day and vaccuming.. and laundering everything... but i guess if i wasnt doing it... who would right?

A new cat brought into an environment where an infected cat lived that was not cleaned thoroughly enough can get ringworm from the environment.
