I need some help and advice.....
Miss Pua's ringworm is really bad despite baths, ProgramŽ and topical
treatment. It's worse than ever. I'm thinking that it's the room she's in. I do regular vacuums, I dust with bleach, but I can't wash the bedding on the bed every day because I don't have a washing machine. I think if I keep treating her for the ringworm, she'll fare better outside. Would I be a bad mommy to do so? She's got her shots, she's been spayed, it's just that room I think. I can't get the spores out of that room. She has lost about 1/3 of her fur now. I'm doing the best I can. I need some help! At least if she's outside, the spores don't have a chance to hang out and take hold. kili |

I think if you let her into the house proper (the 4 I treated for ringworm were not isolated - wouldn't have done any good as by the time we confirmed that it was ringworm they'd been among the regular population for over a week. Luckily, none of our other cats came down with it) it may reduce her stress level and actually help. I wouldn't let her outside though - at least not until her stitches are out & she's healed from the operation. I would definately get the LymDip. It really does work. Again, if I knew I could send you one of our 1/2 bottles without getting in trouble for it, I would. |

She's got the ringworm so badly! I'm going to call my regular vet tomorrow and see what they suggest. Maybe *they* have the dip. I dunno. Her belly is fully healed from the spaying, barely a red line now. They didn't use stitches, but used the glue-stuff. Thanks for your help, MMJ. kili |

It's for ringworm, yes? Pua has been diagnosed with ringworm. And for that matter, who would know anyway?? I suggest you exchange addresses by private mail. Not that you will, of course:-) Of course you won't, what a silly idea that was ;-)) Don't even think about it. you two g Tweed Who has done that once for someone struggling and is still not in jail. |
