... and poor Caliban

The ringworm treatment for the kittens is under way. They get medicine
one week, then one week off, then one week on, one week off, and one
week on. The vet also gave me a liquid med to mix in water to make a dip
for them. I got my sister, the animal caretaker, to come and help me dip
Caliban today. The dip itself went fairly easily and quickly, but now I
have a very wet and pitiful little Caliban mewling in the bathroom. The
vet said to let him dry by himself, but he can't lick himself, so he's
wearing a collar. I only have one collar, so i could only dip one cat at
a time. It's Miranda's turn tomorrow.

Poor Caliban. He really looks pitiful, all wet and with the collar, and
he keeps meowing sadly. He's locked into the bathroom so Miranda doesn't
lick him dry. Poor baby. Same again tomorrow.

Awww. Poor little thing, at least he'll soon be dry, and it doesn't really
hurt him. Purrs that both are soon free of ringworm.

it ok for him to lick once he is dry??

The vet said that I should dip them a few times during the treatment,
but she's going to test them half-way through to see if they need more
dips. And I'm not supposed to help him dry, but let him dry naturally,
but I feel so sorry for him that I did rub him a little with a towel.

Yes, apparently it is OK to lick then. According to the vet, who had
talked about this with the manufacturer.

Poor widdle guy! Extra scritches & treats from us please.

But don't be too upset, kittens are resilient and you'll remember the trauma
much longer than they will.

PS How's Cal's acne? Claudius' is nearly gone, and the antiseptic chin-scrub
is down to once a week now.

I agree. Not a fun treatment for your baby. Give Cali a kiss for me.

Poor little fellow! That would definitely put a crimp in MY holiday
spirit, too. First being dipped, and then being collared so that I
couldn't wash myself dry, and then being left alone in the bathroom
with a Meowmy who wouldn't let me out. =o(

But If that's what must happen to get rid of the ringworm, then that's
what must happen. I hope soon both Miranda and Caliban will be ringworm
free.
