Kitty with a ringworm

mariamalroha · Jul 30, 2015

Hi , my kitty was diagnosed with ringworm, and he have been under medications for about a month, he has beem doig very well, but he still has afew patches of ring worm on his tail, how long will it take him to completely recover from it? I've also caught a ringworm from him, and im not that freaked out, i bought a cream for the ring worm, its on my thigh, but im wondering if it could appear on other places at the same time? I mean is there a chance that it might appear on my face/ hand and on other places at the same time?
And my kitten has been sneezing for 2 weeks now, the vet told me that its not a flu or anything tonworry about, is it actually normal?

Ringworm (which is not a worm but a fungus like athlete's foot) can take a long time to resolve, a month+ is possible. Can you list all the treatments that your cat is getting?

And yes it can appear in more than one place on you so keep watching for it and apply a good anti fungal cream like Lotrimin.

And sneezing usually indicates the start of a cat cold, and most vets that i work with start them on treatment, like an antibiotic to avoid a secondary bacterial infection.
