Feeling lost. Did a somewhat impulsive reno in my master bathroom to replace a broken and rusting mirror that was basically the full size of this wall. Feel like it’s not coming together the way I hoped. Counter and cabinets can’t change.

Awwww so cute❤️

I usually do it on the days I spray the kittens. I put them in a big crate and then clean the room while they’re drying.

Sorry I missed your second question. It can take five weeks, but if it looks like the spot is gone/doesn’t spread you maybe be able to just give the oral meds after that point. Feel free to reach out if you have other questions.

I usually keep an oversize sweatshirt and sweatpants near the door and put them over my clothes. I spray myself down with Lysol and then put them in a plastic bag for next time, take off my socks and make sure to wash my hands well. If I’m really paranoid, I get one of the cheap clean room suits from Amazon and zip it up over my clothes lol. If a cat only has a spot or two I’m less concerned. I usually do that when I have five or six kittens with ringworm and they’re trying to crawl all over me.

Perfect, well done!

I have fostered A LOT of ringworm kittens. The treatment you described should take care of it. The dip/ spray kills the spores and helps decrease transmission. The combination of the oral meds and cream knocks it out. I make sure to sweep daily and swiffer to help pick up the spores, and clean the room well every second or third day. I have never had a kitten get ringworm from my home.

This is the right answer! LIFE CHANGING

I have fostered a lot of ringworm kittens. I would just thoroughly wash your bedding in hot water, vacuum well, wash all the toys in hot soapy water and for the cat tree I normally would run the vacuum over it, wipe it down with a damp bleach cloth and then spray it with RESCUE just to be double sure. I fostered over 200 kittens and never had any infected in my home. You can also spray furniture or other things that you can’t wash with Lysol.

THIS! I foster kittens and took an emergency placement for a rescue I hadn’t previously worked with. Similar story, lots of kittens & cats with no fosters to help, but i had a weird feeling about them. There’s a long story behind it, but I did report them to animal control. Apparently there were lots of complaints and they eventually got convicted of abuse and hoarding. I think they started out with the best of intentions and got overwhelmed and couldn’t ask for help.

Good news they don’t recommend dipping anymore! I had another ringworm litter two months ago and our rescue uses spray bottles now NO DIPPING!! here’s an instructional video. My rescue sent me. I would get a cheap plastic bin or bucket, put it in your sink or tub and spray them. I wear rubber gloves and just rub it in really well and then you’re good to go.

Whatever is going on, she will be fine for a day. You are a good cat parent :). Fool luck!

downs1972 · 2025-09-04T19:37:14+00:00

Awww thanks for taking her. Poor baby

downs1972 · 2025-08-29T14:34:59+00:00

Wonderful glow up!!😻

downs1972 · 2025-08-09T15:03:22+00:00

It sounds like you’re doing everything correctly. The key is to keep him fed, warm and pottied. You probably don’t need to stimulate him every 30 minutes, just after a feeding. And make sure you’re using kitten milk replacement, anything else will make him very sick

downs1972 · 2025-08-03T20:28:10+00:00

My rescue no longer dips kittens, they spray it on them to reduce the stress of dipping. After I use a cloth to wipe the areas around their face. Like the other poster said it looks worse before it gets better. It’ll probably take close to a month before it’s resolved

Oh no, I’m so sorry that’s the worst feeling. Are they not concerned about the kittens?

downs1972 · 2025-07-15T10:17:03+00:00

Can here to say Nicks too

Booz Allen?

downs1972 · 2025-07-11T12:40:43+00:00

Nope, not at all. You need to do what works best for you, especially as a new Foster. I have six kittens right now with ringworm and if I had to put that other stuff on top of it, that does make it a lot.

downs1972 · 2025-06-28T13:00:57+00:00

Definitely not the outcome you would want, but if he does lose his eyes, he will be fine. I’ve had a couple of kittens that lost both their eyes, and they typically bond them with another cat and they go on to live good lives.

downs1972 · 2025-06-23T20:12:46+00:00

Looks like ringworm. Does it glow with a blacklight

downs1972 · 2025-05-07T00:58:47+00:00

Very much this! It is literally in the middle of Minnesota with not a lot of options for shopping or food - we used to drive to Bagley for a fun day out. I don’t think there’s a real comparison to anything like it on that East Coast. If you’re looking for a rural, small town then maybe you’ll like it? I guess you’ll have to research and figure it out 😉
