Thread: Ringworm Diaries

Having had something similar with an Old English Sheepdog, and having caught ringworm myself a few years back and knowing how hard it us to shift, could I suggest something radical?
As they are still kittens, and their fur grows fast, have you thought about shaving them? They would look dreadful and they would need to be kept in a warm room till they got fur back, but you would be certain the chemicals were getting to the skin. You would also be able to see all the bare skin to make sure you got all the patches.
Personally, I think turning the bathroom into kitty heaven would be a good idea, especially as you could maintain the temperature for the bald kittens more easily and you could keep the infection in one place.
What has the vet suggested doing about the ribs? Surely some pain relief at least might be possible?

i would also wear rubbed disposable gloves when handling them until they are clear, it can whizz through a family in no time, as we discovered to our cost.
