Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2006Our seal Tabby Point Birman has a skin problem
I bought a seal tabby point Birman 3year old queen from a breeder recently,on the active breeding list with the intention to breed from her...But since bringing her home we have found that she has started developing little patches of what looks like eczma,all over her body.I tried to find out what it might be by ringing the breeder to ask if she had ever had this problem with her before this incident,but all the breeder could tell me was that she thought it might be an allergic reaction to flea's,or central heating.I took the advice and immediately went through every cat in our house with a fine tooth comb,but discovered no flea's or flea refuse(flea excriment) on any of the cats,so It can't be that;&I have started to allow her to spend the majority of her time either outside,&/or, I have also given over the new extension we had built for my partner to her,so that she has an area where she can go away from the central heating,to try and resolve the issue(I have turned the central heating off in there,& there is no carpet to allow even potential for flea's egg's to hatch& infest any of the cats)....but it has made no difference at all to her.If anything,it is getting worse!!!:o( We have 3Birmans,2Ragdolls & an 18year old pensioner moggie,none of whom has suffered from anything remotely similar to this afliction. When you look @ the crusts/scabs & feel it by probing,it feels like little scabs that she simply cant leave alone because they are obviously aggrivating her.I have been combing her regularly every day in an attempt to try & stop them spreading & aleviate the itchyness for her..& although it is not terrible presently,I am only too aware that it casn/will inflame again & spread all over her body as it did before.When I do this,she is more than happy to allow me to comb out the little scabs as they form so that they don't irritate her into sratching herself raw~although it is a stop-Gap,it doesn't answer the problem,which is what is wrong with her & how can I best treat her for it to stop it coming back?If anyone out there can relate to what I am saying and advise me,I would be ever so grateful to you.I really feel for her & my usual vet is also my neighbor &she is in Australia for 4weeks,so any advice would be more than gratefuly accepted.I would rather stick to my own vet if possible,but will take her to any vet if I have to, & cant find an answer,but this is just a last ditch attempt to try & treat her for it, than take her to someone I don't know.(I am agrophobic!).Many thanks to anyone that might be able to help me too.This is the 1st time I have ever seen a service like this,so it will be interesting to see if anyone does ever answer your questions.It opens a whole new world for me If it does...hope to hear from some of you soon.Thank you for any assisitance if you can help out on this one..sheelagh >I bought a seal tabby point Birman 3year old queen from a breeder > recently,on the active breeding list with the intention to breed from [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > you soon.Thank you for any assisitance if you can help out on this > one..sheelagh Well, my advice is the advice you said you really don't want -- that is, I think you need to take her to a vet and do so without delay. It isn't worth risking her health (and possibly the health of your other cats if it is contagious) just to avoid changing vets for awhile. That said, is it possibly that this is ringworm? A vet could use a Woods light to diagnose quickly. And, of course, ringworm is *highly* contagious, so you would want to take preventive measures both for yourself and for your other cats.

I was going to suggest that it might be ringworm as well.  SignatureLynne Hi Lynne, Thank you so much for the advice re:Tiggie the Birman seal tabby point.It was just the right sort of advice that I needed because I had no idea what was wrong,only that all was not as it should be...but now that I have something to go on,I will do all that I can to get her seen by a vetinary surgeon asap,hopfuly tomorrow(sunday;o(,but if not,definately on monday.I had no idea what It might be,& now that I know how contageous ringworm is in both humans and also cats ,I will alert my Gp to the possible threat as well because I have 4children here as well as a disabled partner too.I hate to think how much I have put them @ risk through ignorance,but as they say,it is a lesson well learnt all be it by the hard way!I am horrified to be honest?!! I have isolated her in the extension with her own food bowl,litter and water too,&seperated her bed as well as her blanket in there.As It is a fungal virus,I am still ignorant as to what to watch out for with regard to the other cats and the children,so any info on that would be more than appreciated also,if you know yourself of course?I assume that washing her bedding will not be enough to rid it of any spores that might be in them..&that I would be well advised to seperately wash her bits than mixing a wash with her stuff and the kids bits?I am washing hands full time now &also being as cautious as possible with regard to passing it on- If you have any further advice,I will follow it to the letter as I can assure you that in this instance....Ignorance is not bliss @ all!!In fact I feel terrible about the fact that I wasn't more aware,but I suppose you cant know everything,but it would be good to find out more about it so that I can be more vigilant in the future.I have learnt this lesson the hard way,but learnt well from it in the process. I will be more than happy to keep you posted as I find out exactly what the problem is and also the extent of the outbreak too,as soon as I know myself.I assume that a woods light is an implement to see whether she has it or not? Please bare with me with regard to using this site-I might make mistakes in answering correctly,or in the right format as I am brand new to a Pc and also this program too so it is all a bit trial & error presently...but I am doing my best to keep up with it.It feels like I have just tapped into a brand new world that "feels right":o) I would love to share a few photos with you of Tiggie,but still got to learn how I might do that without crashing the Pc(I can just picture the kids holding thier heads in hands nodding in disbelief,ha ha..:o) Thanks once again & hope to speak to you soon, Best Wishes,Sheelagh > on Sat, 04 Nov 2006 22:04:18 GMT, "MaryL" > <stancole1@yahoo.comTAKE-OUT-THE-LITTER> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > I was going to suggest that it might be ringworm as well. Hi, I'm a reg. Siamese breeder in Australia and have recently had the same trouble; getting a new girl in is a risky job and next time I'd advise (no matter how ethical the breeder seems) that you isolate any new cats from the others for 2 weeks at least, bathe in antifungal wash and get a full blood panel and check up done by the vet. I've just had ringworm introduced to my cat and human family (I have a small number of breeding cats, all my moggies, my family sharing the house) by an 'ethical' breeder who neglected to tell me about her ringworm problem, so I can advise you on how to lessen the damage. I'd also be checking for mites, it doesnt sound to me like flea allergies but ringworm or mites. Ok now for my treatment plan; isolate all cats showing ringworm signs. Use a bleach solution to wash down all floors and walls as much as possible; thoroughly vacuum carpets and upholstery. A product called 'F10' is the most effective, both to wash your cats, the floors and also can be used on upholstery and carpets. It wont stain but check anyway. F10 can also be used as a topical treatment on ringworm lesions; its the best thing. If you cant get F10 use Malaseb as a washl less effective but if used regularly does help. A disinfectant called Benzyl Colonium Chloride (check disinfectant labels) can be used on upholstery and carpet without staining. Ringworm is spread by 'flakes' of the fungus, so regular vacuuming/mopping will help you keep it down. Also take the cat immediately to the vet; he will prescribe an antibiotic called Grisolven or Griseofulven (same thing) that destroys the cell walls of the ringworm :you will NEVER get rid of it without this. Be careful with young kittens though as there is some link to liver damage, however I've had no problem. Just watch it with cats with liver conditions and check with your vet about use during pregnancy/lactation/in young kittens. Mostly the ringworm will be dormant with adult cats (which is why I suggest checking for mites or lice) but will attack your kittens and any cats with a low immune system. Keep on top of it with the kittens, as ringworm patches grow back darker until the next moult, so points can look patchy and affect showing and sale. DO NOT sell on any kittens until the ringowrm is healed and fur has grown back; you'll just get yourself a bad reputation, as the breeder who did this to you just has. For your family, wash all bedding, clothes, table linen etc and use an anti fungal and anti bacterial wash instead of fabric softener. It should be available in the supermarket; there is a canesten brand and a dettol brand; both are effective. Topically the best human treatment is neat tea tree oil; kills it stone dead immediately. I only had one lesion where I got clawed, and the kids got one each but the tea tree knocked it on the head and they've had no more. ABOVE ALL don't use the tea tree oil on the cats; it is highly toxic to them. It will be a bit of work eradicating it but its not as bad as you think!! Just staying on top of hygiene as you normally would and keeping their meds going for the 6 weeks. Most of these steps will also work to eradicate lice and mites; Malaseb also kills insects I think; the vet will advise. Just use high heat on the washing machine to kill any eggs in bedding. Best of luck~!! http://picasaweb.google.com/sheelaghmadden/OurFelineFamily/photo?authkey=lMo9arM iOEt-WAEFyatf1vjAMUw#4994083858555011090 > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > I think; the vet will advise.

I'm trying to focus on red points and eventually want Balinese as well but that will have to wait until I have a bigger house!! Here are my babies... www.pacificsiamese.bravehost.com and I hope you discover the problem and find a solution to it!! Fingers crossed its sorted out soon!! > http://picasaweb.google.com/sheelaghmadden/OurFelineFamily/photo?authkey=lMo9arM iOEt-WAEFyatf1vjAMUw#4994083858555011090 >> Hi, [quoted text clipped - 70 lines] >> to >> kill any eggs in bedding. Best of luck~!! Hi, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PRACTICAL ADVICE~IT WAS APPRECIATED NO END! I am a bit concerned that you might not have received the e-mail that I sent to you regarding the cats here,simply because I cant see it posted here-did you get it?I am confused because I can see the photos that you got the photos,but no message to see?!!!very strange indeed... rather than repeat it all again,I will give you a bit of a basic run down of what it said,then If you let me know that you didn't receive it,then I will type it all out again,because you really were so kind to go to the trouble of typing out nearly a page of instructions on how to start damage limitation,as you too have been through a similar outbreak,so I know that you understand how devastating it is to go through this hassle...& I also wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart as well because it was exactly the right sort of info that I was hoping for;you couldn't have been more helpful if you had tried to be honest!I needed instructions on how to cope with the potential outbreak...although my current vet happens to be on holiday in Australia believe it or not...I have managed to find a vet that is willing to see all 6cats,but it wont be until tomorrow morning because in the uk,if you are not registered with that particular vet(which I am doing in half an hour or so),they have the right to charge you whatever they want to see your cat,in the form of consultation fee's),& that is the soonest that she can see them all @ the same time,so that will have to do.In the meatime,I have started by wiping all of the sheets off all of our beds,& also the cats beds too;washing all of the floors down with disinfectant,hoovering with the dyson,then washing the filter through& the cyclone chamber as well with bleach solution too.I havent got as far as doing the furniture yet,but it will be done in the next 24hours,even if it turns out to be mites or lice instead of ringworm. I have also manged to get a double appointment with the Gp,for precautions sake,&I am trying to follow all of your suggestions to the letter,as I know that it is good practical advice coming from someone who has been here before me,& come out of the other side too.It is ever so reassuring to know that,one,it is treatable,two that you are telling me how to help myself,having been thorough it,&three,that it can do no harm to be vigilant.I am keeping my fingers crossed in the hope that Tiggie has not passed it on to all of the cats because she has in fact been issolated more or less since she has been here,but not banking on it.Only time will tell. I feel a fool for getting caught out by the breeder,but then again,I was ignorant(which in this case,was not bliss@ all!),but even worse,I am horrified that she knew that we had other cats here,4kids& also my partner Paul,is taking immunity building drugs having had a triple heart by-pass recently,but it still wasn't enough to induce her to alert me to the fact that there was a problem?!!!I am very cross indeed to be honest,because I would have still had her,but we could have protected ourselves,by issolation as you say,& it would have saved a lot of heart ache too.A hard lesson to learn,but well learnt I assure you.I have only just started breeding in the last year or so,& I see that there is loads of stuff that I have to learn still.. I just wish I had known about this site sooner(only been using the Pc for 6months or so too),there have been so many helpful people to whom I am truely grateful indeed.As they say,you live & learn - & it ever so true isn't it? I will of course keep you up to date with our progress-it is the least I can do after all of your input & would be good to stay in touch with you anyway... Glad you enjoyed the photos of the hooligans as well(human & feline too of course!)We had a great time with the kittens & found some lovely homes for them.They all keep in touch with us which is wonderful as it is super to see how they are getting on now that they have set off on their real lives with new mummy's & Daddy's.Thanks also for the link so that we could coo & ahhhh all over your cats too>"o"<..my dad had two siamese many moons ago when we lived in Kenya,called Ping & Pong(that was a bit unfair!),& we loved them dearly.In the end they both had a good ining's & died @ around 13 & 15 years old...they were both seal point boys & true sweeties(but boy did they "wha").I loved them,but mother didn't so that was the end of cats until I left home,& I guess I am making up for it now. Better go,kids to get to school ect,& appoinments to be made @ the doctors still.Thanks for all of the advice,it was invaluable,& speak to you again v.soon to let you know how it's all going-I am so pleased to know that it is not the end of the world as I first feared...

The commentary is adorable, too! If you were anywhere close to where I live, I'd be at your door to pick one for myself. :) I hope you get this ringworm or whatever it is under control very soon and that none of your other cats contract it. My mom has a 16 week old kitten that came to her from the shelter with Ringworm. She had it for several weeks before it was diagonsed. She is now treating the kitten and taking all the other precautions with cleaning, etc., and so far, her other cat and her dog are showing no signs. I hope you have the same experience, Sheelagh. SignatureLynne Hi Lynne, Thank you very much indeed for the compliment with regard to the feline family,it was very nice of you to say so-I agree with you of course,but then again,I am biassed though lol!And after all of your support last night,if you did live near to me,you would indeed be welcome to have one of them because I would know that they would be going to a good home where their mummy knew her stuff,& they would loved and well cared for;In fact ,THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT & HELP YESTERDAY,IT WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED INDEED. We have had a very good year this summer with regard to kittens,& all of them are now gone & living with their new mummy's and daddy's,&living the life of rielly too.I always advertise them for adoption a few days after they are born,which gives me the chance to get to know thier new family's & them to get to know me too,in the hope that It makes me far more approachable if they run into difficulites.It also gives me the excuse to keep in contact with them too,&most of them remain very good friends so we get to see photos of them regularly,& news of their latest antics too fo course!An all win situation really isn't it?All,of them seemed to have settled very nicely & it always nice to hear from their new family too... On to news of the ringworm infestation...You were all spot on...We took all of the mogz to the local vet who agreed to see them & we now have it confirmed that we do indeed have an outbreak of ringworm.Tiggie was the source of the outbreak & Lilly is infected too,all of the others are clear thus far,but all of them will be treated as a precautionary measure.I have managed to enlist the help of all of the kids & also a good friend too who have been helping us today to treat the walls,carpets ,furnishings,everywhere actually.All of the pussy cats are on antibiotics as well.Lilly & Tiggie have been isolated from the others in the hope that they wont be affected.I have also calmed down too..yesterday I was like a cat on hot bricks and you could have scraped me off the ceiling for worry..I envisaged having to shave every single cat & the very thought of that was enough to send me into a flaming rage @ the thought of someone knowingly selling me a breeding queen that was infected by ringworm,especially knowing that I had 5other cats that could be affected,a disabled partner who is taking immunity building drugs after a triple by pass operation on his heart,not to mention 4children too!!!!Very thoughtless,&downright wrong to leave a cat in that condition,without treatment We have all been seen by the Gp today who has prescribed derbac for us all to smother ourselves in(how humiliating!),& the kids have gort an extra day off school until the lotion is removed the following day...but the main thing is that the cat that most needed the help,is now receiving treatment for it thank goodness,So Thanx to you all>"o"< I feel so much better knowing that something is being done to stop her suffereing. I am still a little annoyed that I wasn't warned & havent decided yet,quite how to handle the situation with regard to the breeder that sold her to me -But I have no intention of letting it go because of the severity of the problem & the pain the poor cat has been through,not to mention the vets bill I am facing for treating 6cats instead of 1-any sage advice would be gratefuly accepted.I don't believe in cursing,but I do believe you should face your responsibility's.I can see that there is plenty for me to learn still,but I will get there in the end. Plenty of purrs in this house this evening to share with all of you,with the occasional leg weaving & several head rubs too,so I hope you can all feel the comforting vibes from them?!!!

I would approach the breeder under the assumption that she was not aware of the ringworm. She may not have been. Hopefully she will at least be very apologetic, and if she is conscientious, perhaps she will also offer you some monetary compensation in order to offset the bills you have incurred and also to protect her reputation. If she is not so conscientious, she may simply offer to take the cat back for a refund. I'm sure you would find that as insulting as I would, and so I would let her know your true feelings if it comes to that. SignatureLynne Hi Sheelagh I'll give you the address of the forum I told you about; get in touch with them as they will know what you can do re. complaining to your assoc. about this. You definitely should report as this breeder is obviously not sticking to the ethical agreement and needs looking into. That is a very bad sign that she didnt treat the cat at all, or get it to a vet, and tried to pass it off as an allergy. We got ours from someone bringing infected cats to a show and not telling anyone; now all the breeders at the show have ringworm so you see it might not just be you who is affected. Anyway here is the address. http://www.hubbellbubbell.co.uk/hubbellforum/ Give them a go, they are all lovely people and very helpful. > Hi Lynne, > Thank you very much indeed for the compliment with regard to the feline [quoted text clipped - 75 lines] >> and her dog are showing no signs. I hope you have the same experience, >> Sheelagh. thank you mary,I know in my heart that you are right & I will do as you advise first thing in the morning.No,Ringworm didn't come to mind @ all as I have never seen an infestation before...It sounds all rather alarming & the very thought of all of the cats suffering the same affliction is not a pleasant one at all is it?!I was hoping to avoid a vets surgery that I don't know & they are not registered@ either,but having said that,I would far prefer to be safe than sorry-I couldn't bare for them all to catch it...that would be utterly devastating,wouldn't it?Is it an easily treatable problem,or is it going to be a long-haul process,If you know of course? I have never seen a web site like this before & thought that someone out there might have at least a better idea of what it might be than I did,so I am very grateful to you for such a prompt reply,THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED Mary.At least I have some idea of what it might be now and can take precautions against cross infection with the other cats too now.Mind you,because of the problem,she has been fairly issolated from the other cats thankfully,so I can only hope that I "might" have caught it in time,but If I haven't then so be it-we will see it through to the end as I couldn't bare the thought of any of the rest of them suffering in the same way that she seems to be. I have to be honest when I admit that I think that the breeder knew full well that she had this problem because it started after only 2days of her being here,& none of the rest of my cats are ill in any way @ all.I am disappointed that she couldn't be honest enough to tell me that there was a problem because I would still have had her,but It would have allowed me to get her treated by my own vet @ the right time,not to mention the risk that she has left all of my other cats open to.Disappointed is the right word,I am not angry,just sorely disappointed,and also worride about the other 7Bengali cats that she had for sale too.I believe they all went to one breeder who bought them all the same day as I did,but I don't know who she was to ask if she has the same problem as well.I can only hope that mine was the only casualty!Would you be so good as to let me know how you think it is possible that my little seal tabby girl picked this infection,as I would do anything I can to try and do to stop cross infection between the cats.I have already seperated them utterly including providing her with her own cat litter too(just in case!).Is there anything else that I can to do to protect my other cats whilst I await seeing the vet on monday(I forgot,its sunday tomorrow so I might have a problem finding a vet open to treat her!) Thank hyou so much for your input,I grately appreciated it.....

This way, you can get a diagnosis and advice on how to proceed. Let's hope it is not ringworm -- but if it is, the faster you act, the better. And I would also be suspicious of the breeder, just as you said. Fortunately, I have never experienced ringworm, so I am working only on what I have read. It is treatable, but takes constant vigilance while you work with your cat (and you will probably also receive instructions for cleansing your home, in the event ringworm is diagnosed). Here are a few sites you might want to look at before you visit the vet: http://www.manhattancats.com/Articles/ringworm.html http://www.hdw-inc.com/healthringworm.htm http://www.cat-world.com.au/Ringworm.htm http://ebiz.hibernia.com/animalclinic/ringworm/ http://www.manhattancats.com/Articles/ringworm.html Be sure to call your own doctor if this does turn out to be ringworm because ringworm is contagious and can be passed from cat to human (or even from human to cat). Incidentally, there is actually no "worm" -- it is caused by fungus. Good luck, and please keep us updated. MaryL Photos of Duffy and Holly: >'o'< Duffy: http://tinyurl.com/cslwf Holly: http://tinyurl.com/9t68o Duffy and Holly together: http://tinyurl.com/8b47e thanks once again Mary for the links to try out before our visit to the vets,and also for the wonderful slideshow of your super cats,Holly &Dufy as well..I can see why you are so cat minded now,& they really are marvelous creatures arn't they?You must be so proud of them-I know that I would be if I were you! I am brand new to the Pc and the kids look at me with glee when they see me tapping away two fingered@ at a time,but hold thier heads in thier hands when I mention the words"Help me" of course!I never knew that sites like this existed;I happened to stumble across it when I was up loading some photos of the cats to be honest,but what a find-A prize find too...I am elated to find out that there are other cat minded people out there who are so helpful.I would love to share a few photos of our feline family to you too,but I have yet to figure out just how to send you a link so that you can-as soon as I do,I will send you a few of our lot as well for your laugh of the day...I assure you that they really are comedians,despite their current predicament... I am going to alert the Gp too with regard to the possible outbreak of ringworm as we have 4children here as well as my disabled partner Paul.I need advice on how to minimise & contain the outbreak,as well as advice regarding what to do about sending them all to schoool & college-I will also be only too happy to keep you abreast of how things develop,as it happens;it is the least I can do after all of your sage advice.Salutations,leg weaves&plenty of head rubs to your feline family too by the way!

I meant to suggest that you check with your GP *if* this is diagnosed as ringworm. Why not see the the vet first on Monday before contacting your doctor?
