I've used program in the past, too, & it worked wonders. Do be very careful about the meds you give for ringworm. I know there is a liquid that is toxic to FIV cats. Beth Dont Litter, Fix Your Critter! www.Furkids.org

I've used it twice: this year and several years ago for groups of four or more cats. The dosage suggestions can be found at this website: http://www.vetinfo.com/cringwrm.html I know lots of people might not agree that this is an effective treatment, but again, it has worked for me and is certainly a lot less stressful than bathing or dipping. Good luck! Diane On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 5:54 PM, Emeraldkittee <emeraldkit...@yahoo.com>wrote: > just wondering if anyone had a FeLV baby with ringworm?
