Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2006Purrs needed again
Rusty is going back to the vet tomorrow for a recheck on the ringworm on his ears. I've following the vet's recommendation. Ringworm lotion on his ears twice a day, and a shampoo twice a week. Rusty's lost hair on his ears, but otherwise looks fine. The ringworm on my ankles are gone. If Rusty's ringworm is still there, the vet may want to shave him. I don't like the idea. I may ask the vet tech to give Rusty a bath. I always worry that I didn't completely rinse out the shampoo. It has been a very tiring month. I got tired of frequent vacuuming and washing the floors with bleach. I think Rusty is a bit stressed out too as he had an upset tummy. So please purr for Rusty. Thanks!

It took me almost 3 months to get rid of Pua's ringworm and I ended up receiving 2 kind of large spots on my arm. Funny, it took me longer to get rid of my spots than it took Pua to recover. All the disinfectant, all the vacuuming, all the baths, the creams.......sigh. I feel for you. Good luck, Winnie, purrs are on their way. kili & Pua, Chloe & Tyrone. > Purrs coming from this now ringworm-free household. I know what you're > going through.

But I read that tea tree oil can be toxic to cats so I didn't use it on Rusty. I won't let him sit on my laps anymore and we both miss the cuddling. I wear gloves whenever I have to touch him and I am sure he misses being petted. The vet also wants Rusty to go back in 6 months for another shot of Program. Not for fleas, but as an adjunct to his ringworm treatment. Winnie > All the disinfectant, all the vacuuming, all the baths, the > creams.......sigh.

I used tea tree oil and lotion on my ringwormed arm as well, but I didn't use it on Pua either.

Many purrs for Rusty and for you, Winnie. Will be checking for updates! Christine > Rusty is going back to the vet tomorrow for a recheck on the ringworm on his > ears.

Thought it might encourage you to know that once Frank got through with the treatment, he nor any other of the cats, nor me, ever got ringworm again. That was about 2001. I remember it seemed to take an awful long time for the hair to grow back on Frank's head though. Sherry > Purrs for the nasty ringworm to be gone forever.

Last time was 2 years ago, also in the spring. Rusty didn't have it then. The vet said my immunity was probably low when I get ringworm. So each spring I have to make sure I somehow boost my immunity. I am taking garlic pills as garlic is a fungicide. Rusty had a urinary infection just prior to getting ringworm, so his immunity was probably down too. Since I only notice hair loss on Rusty's ears, I am hoping it is localized there. Will find out in a couple of hours. Winnie >Rusty is going back to the vet tomorrow for a recheck on the ringworm on his >ears. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >So please purr for Rusty. Thanks! You got it. Purrs for Rusty heading your way.
