About two weeks ago I found this sweet girl in the middle of the highway. Her eyes were completely crusted shut and she was INFESTED with fleas and lice. I took her to the vet and was told she had feline herpes virus (hence the crusted eyes) and that really all i could do about the fleas was give her a bath with dawn dish soap. I did that a couple times and she has improved TREMENDOUSLY, but tonight I noticed she had very flaky skin and her hair was falling off with that skin with no effort. I brushed her for awhile and ended up with two big bald spots. They have tiny black dots around the outside of the spots. I’m very concerned that it’s ringworm. She has been around my other 2 cats so if it’s ringworm I need to treat them as well. I go through her fur a few times a day looking for fleas and lice and have never noticed this flakiness until tonight, and I couldn’t have missed it as they’re in spots I check often because the lice were bad behind her ears. I’m trying to find a vet office that has an opening soon, but I’m hoping somebody here has an answer to calm me down until I can get her seen!
