RE: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

I wonder if I have it.. I have some red spots it’s sort of stings and itchy--- is it RW?  It’s encouraging to know that most of your kitties did not get it.  What spray did you use on you?  What is Difulcan – is it over the counter drug?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cherie A Gabbert Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 12:29 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens   My most recent kitten Mystery had ringworm, without my knowledge and I brought her in my house of 10 cats, 1 dog and my son....my FeLV+ cat is the only one that caught it and of course I did also...it is really bad, I used an antibactial spray three days on and 1 day off for 3 weeks and that helped, with me I took Difulcan and used rubbing alcohol on the wounds, it was not fun ;-( [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cats that have had URI often bust out in ringworm...welcome to my world.Its from the lowered immune system.  I use blue start ointment and it never fails you can get it in any pharmacy. Or in real bad cases I take them to the vet and he gives them a liquid....don't know what it is though works every time. its contagious to humans and to other animals so careful when handling them. BTW the interferon on my URI negative kittens has made all the difference in the world.   Have a purrfect day Cherie
