Ringworm in cats question
Just got back from a doctor's visit and the irritation on my arm has
turned out to be ringworm. Have an indoor only cat, 2years old dsh that is showing no signs of lesions at all. If the cat is not showing any signs I'm assumming he can still be infected with it, true? Is it necessary to physically take him in or can I clip some fur and take that in instead? Can't figure out how I got this, I have no other animals and Georgie's never been outside in the 1 1/2 years I've had him. |

Did the doc culture it, or was it just a visual diagnosis? The reason I ask is because I get eczema that mimics ringworm, sometimes, in the winter. -L. No he didn't culture it and like yourself I suffer from eczema during the winter. |

Actually how do you treat the exzema you get in the winter? Only relief I've got is through oral steroids. |
