Okay, my 5 foster kitties have ringworm. The rescue says the vet said I could just use over the counter "stuff." I read that people can use athlete's foot cream. I suppose the same is true with cats. My concern is that all ointments might not be safe for cats. These babies are about 8 weeks old. Most of the sores are around their nose and mouth. One has sores on her tummy near her spay incision (happened last Friday). I've looked up safe topical treatment for cats, and I found a shampoo and Lamisil. Several other things are supposedly not safe. The shampoo requires the cats to be shampooed 2 times/day every other day! The Lamisil is expensive. I cannot afford anything. We're already paying for their food and litter.
Last summer, I put Hartz flea spray on my cat. She nearly died. I didn't realize how dangerous it was. Now, I'm very scared to put anything on a cat that is not specifically recommended or prescribed by a vet.
Can anyone tell me a topical ointment that is safe on cats to use for ringworm? Something you have used and know is safe?
