I need one of these every how many days?!?!


Squishy got his 2nd anti-fungal bath. He actually does fairly well, he wants to be petted 24/7 so he's easy to keep still as long as I'm touching him.


Yeah...he has way more spots than I thought.
And they're huge, the skin is peeling off in sheets....I'm so hoping the vet has good news tomorrow. I've never wanted it to be ringworm before so badly.

He has 2 quarter size spots on this side Tuesday night....he now has 5...technically 4 because those 2 original spots got so big they merged


You can see a flake of skin peeling off, but it won't come off when he licks at it....it just won't come off....not without ripping a hole in him....you can see on the spot on the far right, there's also a crease in the middle, I don't think that happens with ringworm?



This is his other side, he has two larger spots, & one small one in between the two larger ones



And the biggest concern of mine is that they are only showing up on his fat belly. I'm worried that he has something up causing the fat belly, not just the food. And ringworm doesn't discriminate where it shows up, he should have spots on his paws/face/tail if it was ringworm.....he doesn't. I checked him thoroughly, both with black light & my eyes.

Can Squishy get some for his vet visit tomorrow?

my sisters cat had something simular to that, it turned out he was allergic to the food she was feeding him. The vet made her switch food and use hydrocorizone cream on him, he still has a small area thats sore but about 95% of it is gone now and the hair is comming back. Maybe you will be lucky and it will be something as simple as that.

Many, many for sweet Chairman Squishy. He hasn't come this far to meet a roadblock -- this is going to be something that can be dealt with readily, and he's going to be fine SOOOOOOOOOON -- so there!

for poor old Squishy!

Let's hope it's maybe an allergic reaction? ie--not contagious--I do think ringworm would have spread to some other areas not just his belly.

It is an allergic reaction to something. The vet & I didn't discuss what it is he's allergic to....he's on meds so hopefully he'll be better soon!

He's excited because that means no more baths!

Of course, now you've got to figure out what he's allergic to...
