Any reason why? they suggested that after she finished her first antibiotic. they were going to give her an anti-fungal medication.

Her eyes are almost a blueish green. I just made sure that she wasnt deaf, i think she has selective hearing but thats just me.

It is incredibly hard on their system and can damage the liver; it is called griseofulvin. My vet doesn't even prescribe it to adult cats because it is so dangerous. I suggest washing her with an antifungal shampoo 2 to 3 times a week and disinfecting ALL surfaces with a 1:10 bleach solution. Alcohol and other cleaners won't kill ringworm. It's a bit daunting, but once you get it under control things should be fine.

Here is some info on the medications below.. I would highly recommend not using it, particularly with her being so small. it also isn't going to take care of it any faster than an OTC anti-fungal cream will. I suggest using some holistic remedies as well.... Linda H... please chime in here!!

Puffy had ringworm as a baby and I bathed her with this for six months to keep it from coming back.. it smells really nice and I still use it on occasion.

Good luck, and please keep us updated! And give that sweet baby a giant kiss from me!



GRISEOFULVIN

This medication must be given with a fatty meal in order for an effective dose to be absorbed by the pet. Persian cats and young kittens are felt to be sensitive to its side effects which usually are limited to nausea but can include liver disease and serious white blood cell changes. Cats infected with the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus commonly develop life-threatening blood cell changes and should never be exposed to this medication. Despite the side effects, which can be severe for some individuals, Griseofulvin is still the traditional medication for the treatment of ringworm and is usually somewhat less expensive than itraconazole.

ITRACONAZOLE

This medication is highly effective in the treatment of ringworm but is available in capsules far too large to be useful to most small animals. This means that a special company called a compounding pharmacy must custom make the medication into a more useful size. Nausea is a potential side effect for this medication but probably the main reason it is passed by in favor of griseofulvin is expense. On the average, cats treated with itraconazole and nothing else were able to achieve cure two weeks sooner than cats treated with Griseofulvin.

Besides the Dr. Scholl's shampoo, there are a number of other medicated shampoos for rignworm -- all with a sulfur compound in them. You can even use diluted Selsun Blue shampoo (diluted down to 1 shampoo to 4 water) and let it soak on her for 5-10 minutes before rinsing.

She sounds teeny tiny, I would get her some Kitten Nutrical at Petsmart or Petco and start giving that to her to help her maintain and put on weight.

With the ringworm, please don't let your vet give her oral medication for it, it's terrible for them and she's far too tiny to risk giving it to her.
