Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006Ringworm saga continued
The vet rang me today about the latest ringworm test. The sample had become contaminated so they couldn't determine whether there was any ringworm left! <sigh> I have to take them in again, but at least it won't cost me anything. Apparently there's no lab in Finland that can do these tests (ringworm seems to be a vey new thing here), so they have to send the samples to a lab in the UK. This is why it takes such a long time, and I suppose it can become contaminated more easily when it has to be sent so far away.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

The lab is in Weybridge, the town where I was born, I used to pass it often.

They don't show any signs of it, but apparently they can carry it without showing any symptoms. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

I opened the post to expect to read that they still had ringworm. Thank goodness that's not the case though it must be very frustrating to have to wait, wait, wait, transport to TED's again, and then wait, wait, wait some more to find out once and for all.

Yes, the waiting is the worst part. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

We continue to purr and send best wishes for the test to be negative, Polonca and Soncek Aaargh, what a hassle. I'm sorry you have to put the kitties through another vet visit, but at least it won't cost anything. I'm sure they're ringworm free by now anyway.

Negativity purrs for the samples are on the way. SignatureSam, closely supervised by Mistletoe > The vet rang me today about the latest ringworm test.

Purrs for a negative diagnosis. SignatureCheryl
