Just wanted to rant.
Treating ringworm in cats is a big pain in the butt.
I recently got a new kitten from a shelter. He was very thin and sick. He got better, then developed Ringworm. I had to isolate him from my other two cats while treating him with special shampoo and fungal cream. He got better, but still has some patches of fur missing. Now my other cat has ringworm near his eye. This is a pain in the ass because the shampoo and fungal cream cannot go near the eye (duh). So, I'm treating him with oral meds.
All I can say, what a pia. I have never had any of my cats get sick like this. It all started when I moved to Vegas. First, both of my cats got a cold from stress and being on the plane. Mocha got stomach issues and puking due to the hard water...they now drink bottled water. Then Hobbes got severe systematic infection. Then...Blackjack got severe URI and Ringworm, now Hobbes got a bit of ringworm near his eye.
Man, I never had any of my cats sick like this the past 9 years, with exception of the one that had cancer!
Just felt like ranting.
