Hey All,
I am here today cuz I adopted a kitty from a local shelter that was at out pet store. They thought she was around 5months. She got checked out by my vet and she said she is more like 3 or 4 months judging by her teeth. She is also underweight. Now a week later my kitty has what looks like a growth on her back paw and no fur on it. I also noticed a 2inch or so line on another leg that was missing fur. When I took her to the vet she said "Oh no" then paused and said it may be ring worm. She also has not gained weight in a week. So I have put her in a room for the time being. I hate hearing her cry non stop. I feel so bad. I have had a friend say it doesn't look like ring worm. I'm not sure what to do. Any advice would be great. This is my first kitty and she has been my best friend and my puppys to. The animal shelter we got her from said they do take the animals back within 2 wks. I don't want to give her back but not sure if this could be bad for my kids or puppy. Any advice would be great.
