Hi all,
I have a 10 lb, spayed, saucy little tuxedo cat at home. I love her dearly. A few months ago I got ringworm from a foster kitten (this kitten was never in my home or in contact with my cat). I was able to get rid of it on myself and deep clean everything to (hopefully) keep it from spreading to my cat.
This whole debacle was 4 months ago. Now just a week ago I noticed a small patch of hair loss/possible scabbing on her foot, and today there is a little blood I think from her scratching the scab. important: I’m not asking if it’s ringworm, I’ll be taking her to the vet next week to tell for sure, so I’m not posting any pictures here
My question is this: HYPOTHETICALLY, if it is ringworm- what is the treatment and is there anyway to treat it without a lime sulfur dip?
I already know I’m not going to be able to give her a bath, 1) I don’t even have an area to really do it but, 2) she will actually get away from me if I try to give her a bath (she’s very small and quick and difficult to treat with anything)
I know I’m getting ahead of myself but I’m really worried I won’t be able to treat her if it’s ringworm. So do vet offices ever do the dip for you? Is there another treatment method that exists?
Thank you in advance
