[Felvtalk] gentian violet for ringworm-how?
some have mentioned using this or goldenseal as a natural treatment for ringwormI assume it comes in a tincture, like goldenseal can? should it be diluted with water and applied with cotton? I assume it's ok if they lick some of it off? thank you. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] gentian violet for ringworm-how?
I have used Gentian Violet for many years for ringworm, and Golden Seal for not quite as long, and both seem to work well. No I don't dilute it, never thought of it, but you might try it. I always start with Golden Seal because it's not as , uh, "purple" as the Gentian Violet, ha! It's also a treatment for thrush in the mouth, but I don't think it's very tempting to use in the mouth, or lick (for a kitty).

No one, cat or human, will lick gholdenseal a second time. try it. You'll understand why. I once tried to make a suspesion of goldenseal in honey for myself and it still tasted foul. --- On Fri, 4/2/10, Gloria B. Lane wrote: > From: Gloria B.

LOL yes I know I have taken it too. The thing is, Whimsy is terrified of the smell, I already tried goldenseal and he just runs away. --- On Fri, 4/2/10, Susan Hoffman wrote: From: Susan Hoffman Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] gentian violet for ringworm-how?
