Hi all,
My 9 year old siamese cat is awaiting a ringworm test result from our vet. Hes been losing fur and scratching and licking himself bad for months. (Vet thought it was an allergy so never tested for ringworm, even though I previously asked them to).
Anyway, we have a blacklight at home and all his spots were glowing green when we shone it on him. On the spots he was licking and some around his ears. The vet is doing a test to make sure, but she said it takes up to a week to confirm, she did a wood lamp test and said 'it looks like ringworm'. She gave him griseofulvin tablets which he has been taking for about 4 days now.
Besides cleaning like a madwoman and washing every blanket and pillow and bedding in the house: what else can I do if its ringworm? We've tried Bannix spray all over him for weeks and it hasn't improved. Any antifungal creams that worked for you??? I'd like to avoid giving him a bath because hes a sweet boy but its like the exorcist trying to bathe him. (But I will if I have to).
Any ringworm elimination tips are appreciated!
