RE: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens

[Hideyo Yamamoto]

Really?  Why is it such a nightmare?  Is it because it’s contagious and hard to get rid of?  It won’t kill them or make them really sick, will they?  Someone told me that I should get a black light to confirm it.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 11:28 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: OT: Help ! ringworm in kittens   Hideyo, Oh man, let's hope your guys don't have ringworm.  I've never had to deal with it myself, but it sounds like a real nightmare!  I'll send you my compiled notes on treatment for it off-list.  Does anyone know how to confirm diagnosis w/o taking a kitty to the vet?

Or in real bad cases I take them to the vet and he gives them a liquid....don't know what it is though works every time. its contagious to humans and to other animals so careful when handling them. BTW the interferon on my URI negative kittens has made all the difference in the world.
