Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2005... and poor Caliban
The ringworm treatment for the kittens is under way. They get medicine one week, then one week off, then one week on, one week off, and one week on. The vet also gave me a liquid med to mix in water to make a dip for them. I got my sister, the animal caretaker, to come and help me dip Caliban today. The dip itself went fairly easily and quickly, but now I have a very wet and pitiful little Caliban mewling in the bathroom. The vet said to let him dry by himself, but he can't lick himself, so he's wearing a collar. I only have one collar, so i could only dip one cat at a time. It's Miranda's turn tomorrow. Poor Caliban. He really looks pitiful, all wet and with the collar, and he keeps meowing sadly. He's locked into the bathroom so Miranda doesn't lick him dry. Poor baby. Same again tomorrow.

Purrs that both are soon free of ringworm. SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) A House is not a home, without a cat. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk > Poor Caliban.

The vet said that I should dip them a few times during the treatment, but she's going to test them half-way through to see if they need more dips. And I'm not supposed to help him dry, but let him dry naturally, but I feel so sorry for him that I did rub him a little with a towel. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Purrs that he feels less icky very soon. I agree. Not a fun treatment for your baby. Give Cali a kiss for me. kili Ugh. I hate things like that. Give him extra skritchies when dry for me. Is it ok for him to lick once he is dry?? > The ringworm treatment for the kittens is under way.

Is > it ok for him to lick once he is dry?? Yes, apparently it is OK to lick then. According to the vet, who had talked about this with the manufacturer. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Poor widdle guy! Extra scritches & treats from us please. But don't be too upset, kittens are resilient and you'll remember the trauma much longer than they will. Purrs Gordon & the FF PS How's Cal's acne? Claudius' is nearly gone, and the antiseptic chin-scrub is down to once a week now. > But don't be too upset, kittens are resilient and you'll remember the trauma > much longer than they will. Yes, Caliban forgave me as soon as i let him out of the bathroom. > PS How's Cal's acne? Claudius' is nearly gone, and the antiseptic chin-scrub > is down to once a week now. It's almost gone, though I must admit I didn't do anything about it. Except maybe be a little more vigilant about clean bowls. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > It's almost gone, though I must admit I didn't do anything about it. > Except maybe be a little more vigilant about clean bowls. Sometimes thats all it takes. We have two food dishes for the cats. And we run the dishwasher at least once every two days. I always make sure one cat food dish is in and I change dishes when its done so they get a squeaky clean dish every other day. I've learned that Jake drools when he eats so the bowl gets nasty. (this is for dry food) They drink from large disposable plastic cups to those get changed every few days as well. Jo Poor little fellow! That would definitely put a crimp in MY holiday spirit, too. First being dipped, and then being collared so that I couldn't wash myself dry, and then being left alone in the bathroom with a Meowmy who wouldn't let me out. =o( But If that's what must happen to get rid of the ringworm, then that's what must happen. I hope soon both Miranda and Caliban will be ringworm free. Melissa aw, the hardships of a baby :( Hope they both get over the ringworm problem quickly!

Purrs for Caliban! It's so hard to tell them that what we're doing is to help them. I still try to and talk to Shamrock every time I give him an injection, or a capsule, and just tell him this is to help him feel better. Of course he doesn't understand. Maybe the tone and talking helps. SignatureCheryl > AAKK! Purrs for Caliban! It's so hard to tell them that what we're > doing is to help them.

Maybe > the tone and talking helps. I always did that with Frank when i had to give him meds. It never helped. Both I and my sister tried to soothe the kittens during the dip, but I don't think it had much effect on them. It's Miranda's turn to be locked in the bathroom now. I can hear her plaintive little meows. :o( I hope she forgives me as quickly as Caliban did. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Thanks for all your purrs. I'm sure they helped Caliban forgive me so quickly. Keep them coming, so Miranda does too. She's in the bathroom now, wet and with the collar on. Poor baby. She doesn't look as pathetic as Caliban did, since her fur is so thin. Caliban's legs and tail looked quite ridiculously thin when they were wet. :oP SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

I clear Pua up, I let her out of isolation, I clean the room she was in as thoroughly as possible and Tryone got spots on his head. I clear him up and now Chloe's got a spot on *her* head. I'm still treating Chloe; it's been about 2 weeks now. Pua arrived in August, so it's been 4 months of treating cats total. ACK! I SO know what you're going through. kili > Isn't ringworm a nasty thing to deal with?

Neither Caliban nor Miranda have any spots, and neither do I, but the test showed that Caliban is still a carrier, so the odds are, Miranda is too. So we'd better treat them for it now, rather than wait for either of them to show any signs of an infection. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Awww - what a pathetic picture :-( He sounds like such an easygoing little guy that I'll bet he'll forget all about it soon enough though! Susan M Otis and Chester |
