I have 1 foster cat with ringworm. he entered my home on a monday and I spotted it within 27 hours. I separated him in his own room, alone.
I read a lot of info and got a lot of advice, but what I would really like is some words from people who have actually had ringworm in their home. Since he is in a separate room and contagious to me and the other cats he has not been getting a whole lot of attention, and I feel very guilty.
He has been on a topical ointment for 11 days and an oral medicine for 5 days. (itraconazole, or something like that) The oral medicine is suppose to be given for 1 month. But when can I feel comfortable petting and playing with him? by the way, I have only seen 2 small spots.
Thanks to anyone with any words of advice or encouragement.
