Can I ask someone to take a look at the picture of ringworm in this page and tell me if this is what I would expect it to look like on my cat?
http://www.fabcats.org/ringwormforbreeders.html
I found a lump on Isabelle's back tonight while petting her. I trimmed all the fur around it so I could get a good look at it and try to take a picture of it to share, but my camera just can't zoom like that and focus on something this tiny.
But after seeing the picture on this webpage of the red ring... That's not what's on Isabelle. What she has is a ring around a brown dot. The ring looks un-evenly puffy and taller than what's on this page. It is not red at all. It kinda looks a little infected to be honest.
I have had two major cat squabbles in my house in the last 2 days. Two nights ago there was a strange cat on my porch and that caused quite a ruckus. I have no idea what happened last night. I just heard a huge squalk from downstairs, threw my slippers on and by the time I got 1/2 way down the stairs Amelia was running upstairs. When I rounded the corner I saw Audrey leave the window, Casey looked frantic, and Isabelle didn't look happy either. I think Audrey got in a good swipe and Isabelle was the victim.
I'm just curious as to what ringworm looks for on a cat so I can figure out whether I should Isolate Isabelle from the rest of the cats until tommorrow.
I will be calling the Vet in the morning no matter what. No matter what the deal is she'll need something for it!
