I did the pill and my vet scanned them every 3 weeks. Every kitten that was cleared was separated into a new crate for 3 w, then scanned again with the light and if clear they moved into my house. Only one was considered resistant to all treatments and he was let outside with my FERALS during the day and in the garage at night given no ore treatments. Time and fresh air treated him, according to my vet. It was a desperate measure but I had to because of 2 17 year old cats in my house and keeping him crated for months and months was not humane in my opinion. All of these beautiful cats were eventually cleared from ringworm and adopted within 6 months. I would do it again in a heart beat. Now I have my own nonprofit TNR group.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01481464752083005056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468856878532718048.post-68333912476974603282015-09-10T14:31:10.473-07:002015-09-10T14:31:10.473-07:00It's been a few years since I've had ringw...It's been a few years since I've had ringworm kittens but the hardest part is just waiting for the fur to grow back. Ringworm burns itself out. I'm immune and my adult cats never got it. If I didn't have a non-fungus mom and kittens in my spare room right now I'd volunteer to help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195422177963570764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468856878532718048.post-53261265890103827742015-09-10T09:03:49.263-07:002015-09-10T09:03:49.263-07:00Hey Jessica?

They purr, play and act just like any other kittens. We have been treating with compounded liquid fluconazole, our compounding pharmacy even has fish flavor added. It's highly effective and the kittens are responding well and don't even mind their nightly meds! Remember folks "ringworm" is not a worm. It's like athlete's foot. Would you kill something for having athlete's foot?? I sure hope not. Step up people it's just not THAT big of a deal. Compared to other "contagious kitten things" it's great because it doesn't EVER kill them.
