And the big problem is, is that the majority of the public isn't informed and hang on every word a vet says. They trust them for the best advice. It's up to us to spread the word as much as possible. Marcia Sent from my iPad that my most awesome kids surprised me with, Christmas 2010. On Feb

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

I've used L-lysine capsules over the years just fine--same ones people take. Buy them at a health food store. For an adult, average sized cat (8-12 pounds +/-), buy the 500 mg capsules, open them up, and use roughly half mixed in with a can of cat food,or equivalent. Ideally, you use 250 in the
