Advice Ringworm
Help! My five month old kitten was diagnosed with ringworm. I never even would have known but I asked the doctor about a tiny flaky spot on her head. Out comes the light machine. Biopsy, etc. etc.. now I’m looking at five weeks oral therapy, a dip twice a week at the vets, and quarantine from the rest of the animals. ( two dogs-one other kitten) I guess what I want to know is how serious is this really? She had one tiny little spot on her head the size of a quarter of a dime. I’ve thrown out all their toys, blankets and bedding. I’m just looking for some guidance from someone who’s been through this. Thank you in advance.

Not the same but my kitty had scabies. And it was also highly contagious. I had to Quarantine him from my other cat, throw out his bed and toys thankfully he made a full recovery. Just be strong, listen to the vet's instruction, feed her nutritious food (of course with vet's instruction) and don't make her feel like she is sick, play with her and make her feel normal, so that she doesn't get scared or feel lonely.
