Cherie, I too wonder what is going on with this woman. I assumed she took the cat in and had it examined? Surely her vet didn't give her fulvicin based ona phone call? Fulvicin is a medication that is hard on cat's systems, particularly kittens In my experience vets won't prescribe it unless

For skin problems, I use Golden Seal or Gentian VIolet. My grandmother told us about gentian violet for ringworm,back in the 50's. I've never seen it not work. But it's messy, I always have to be careful about getting this purple stuff on so that it doesn't make a mess. Drug stores here

you can also smear some food on her paws so she'll at least taste the foodstuff you're trying to get her interested in. sometimes a cat gets nauseous and won't eat after that. use a wooden tongue depressor and try to smear a little food inside the side of one of her cheeks also. deli meats

I've never used Fulvicin, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it. I'd probably stop the Fulvicin and just use some Golden Seal. I've used Gentian Violet recently on a cat (Sparkle)'s ears, had some fungus that looked like ringworm. Did 1 or 2 applications , and it looks much better. May just do

I was also wondering how long after applications would it be contagious. When you used it on Sparkle's ears were you concerned for your other cats, and did anyone esle get it? "Gloria B. Lane" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've never used Fulvicin, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it. I'd probably stop

Dear Cherie: While Fulvicin is not horrendously toxic, any kind of chemical we put on our pets can be potentially harmful, especially to young kittens and pups. I had a cat once that crashed from a spot-on flea product and went into in toxic shock, yet many cats tolerate such products quite

Cherie, In my opinion.. just that... my opinion. I would take this cat straight to the vet for a scraping for ringworm. If it is ringworm it's highly contagious and you would have a mess on your hands treating all your cats. If it's ringworm it's an airborne fungus, so it's very hard to keep
