Kerry, ringworm will go through a cycle and go away ON IT'S OWN if left
alone. NO need to medicate unless you have a multi-cat household were it can
cycle along through all the cats and pass back and forth (where, it theory, it
could cycle endlessly and never go away). Vets commonly over medicate for
ringworm, which, in itself, is a relatively harmless fungus. Itchy, but NOT
deadly. I would never orally medicate for it, period, it's just NOT that big of
a deal, to give toxic meds to a cat to cure something so harmless. Oh and yes,
YOU can get it too, ALSO not a big deal. On yourself, put a dab of bleach
directly on the fungus daily, and it will kill it. (don't bleach a cat, they
will lick it off and it will make them sick)
Just MY opinion, of course.
