Topically I've used Golden Seal for ringworm, and it works well. If that doesn't work I try Gentian Violet (which is very purple and messy but has always worked well). Orally I've used Grisiofulvin once or twice. I have one FIV kitty with skin issues right now and am using Sebazole (sp) and seems to work well for him. I get a wet rag and apply it topially, with warm water. Not sure what his skin problem is, though, probably not ringworm.

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.
