Default Help Ringworm

About 2 weeks ago we found a stray 4 week old kitten. We brought her
to the vet a couple days later and was told she had worms and ear
mites. Well my family devolped a strange rash on Saturday, me the
worst. So I went to the dr and was told we got ringworm probably from
the cat.
I called the vet to see about getting treatment and he wasn't much
help. Seemed a little crabby today. I scheduled an appt for tonight
but need some help still. He said it takes about a month to treat with
pills. I need to know if we are still going to get infected while the
cat is being treated. Also how do I go about disinfecting my house,
bedding, couches, etc. I asked the vet and he said to just vacuum. My
husband hates the cat to begin with and now this just is to much for
him. He said if we can't get her treated without further infecting
everybody for the next month she has to go to the humane society
today. The vet we see is reduced cost so that's why I go to him. My
mom will be paying for the treatment as we just can't afford it. If it
gets to complicated and expensive we just can't keep Pumpkin anymore.
She's locked in the family room right now because I just don't know
what to do with her. Is the medicine expensive.
Any help and advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Wendy


Program. Google it. Anything else is a waste of time and money.
