When we took in a cat with ringworm, the first vet prescribed an expensive oral
medication (something like Griseofluvin). We sought the advice of a different
vet who gave the cat a shot of antibiotics and recommended we use lime sulfur
dips. It took a while, but it did clear up. The dips are

Regarding your statement, “I have all of these so called do good savior to the

One of our rescues tested positive at the time he was neutered. The vet went
ahead and did the surgery. That was about a year ago. He was adopted in
September and was fine at that time - and still is as of the last update I
received.
I'm not saying that neutering couldn't trigger a problem,

Lorrie,
I'm late chiming in here. I can't help you with Acarexx, but look into
FishMox for the clavamox. It can be ordered without a prescription and from
what I was told, it's the same as clavamox. I even ordered it for myself
once when I had an infected tooth.

Thank you all for your replies regarding treatment for fleas. I was
