Re: [Felvtalk] ringworm
It also won't kill fleas. It may repel them for a while but unless you vacuum your floors every day, treat with diatomaceous earth and flea comb every one of them, they are going to be hopping in no time. In addition, a sad tail I can tell about "natural" flea treatments is my cat Teddy, now only a memory but when he was with me, I used a lemon oil and herbal based flea remedy that was "guaranteed" to rid my cat of flea problems. What it did rid him of was a nice swatch of fur on the back of his neck with a matching skin burn from the horrid stuff. The flea stuff cost much more than regular flea remedies and cost me several vet visits until Teddy's neck healed. I wrote the company a scathing letter demanding my money back and telling them to take the crap off the market but they refused to do either.

I avoid any and all essential oils for cats. Dogs and humans can metabolize them, cats can't. They lack a liver enzyme needed to process the oils. I get very annoyed seeing substances containing essential oils touted as "safe" for cats because they're "natural". Cinnamon oil is particularly high in phenols, which are considered harmful to cats. http://essentialoilworld.com/essentialoilreviews/pet-health/essential-oil-safety-with-cats This is from a site that SELLS essential oils, but states some are not safe for cats. This is my favorite site addressing the use of essential oils around cats, and again, they sell them... http://www.thelavendercat.com/ I use Advantage on my non-FeLV cats and their dogfriends, and it seems to keep the flea population under control on everyone. It's up to each catslave what they choose to control those annoying little bloodsuckers, but just thought I'd give another point of view. Natural does not mean safe.

Re: [Felvtalk] ringworm
I don't like the commercial flea drops at all. My cats have all had a reaction to them. I found an herbal one on Dr. Becker's site (Mercola site). It has cinnamon and other "natural" ingredients. The cats were not too happy with it at first, I think mostly because the cinnamon smell is pretty strong when it first goes on, but at least they have not had any adverse reactions to it. This includes my remaining FELV, Annie. trustinhi...@charter.net wrote: > I just wanted to share that I put Advantage-multi drops on my felv+ cat, Pookie, in june and a week later there appear 1 then 2 puffy lumps on his back between his spine.

A 4-ply rubber wet suit is suggested, along with a helmet, face mask and welders gloves. 2) A Bathtub with a glass enclosure is preferred to the one with a shower curtain. A frenzied cat can shred one of these in about 3.5 seconds. 3) Have the Kitty Bubbles and towel in the enclosed bathtub area beforehand. No… blow drying the cat after the bath is not suggested. 4) Draw the water, making it a little warmer than needed as you still need to find the cat.

I still vote for the cream for athletes foot. I used it years ago on a cat named Munchkin for spots of fur loss. Didn't know it was ringworm, just whisked my fingers through it and hadn't a clue. Took him to the vet and the vet said ringworm. Eeek! But I never contracted it. Vet said I was probably exposed to it as a child and was immune. Whatever . I did use Program prophylactically on some of my own cats who were exposed to a rescued kitten I was fostering who was diagnosed with ringworm. No one caught it from him. Actually, ringworm is self limiting. The cats lose fur, their immune system kicks in if they are relatively healthy and the hair loss stops, the little whorls heal up and cat is good to go again. But if you like a messy, greasy cat, ask your vet about the athletes foot cream. Worked in a medical office for a good part of my early years. They used gentian violet for female herpes. Yow!

Re: [Felvtalk] ringworm
My vet says to use 2 tblsp bleach to 1 gallon of water. And the vet from Revival Animal Health said he used 3 TBLSP to a gallon. I use lime sulfur dips or veterycin. I had it all over me last year. I had it from June until December. Did a lot of laundry and cleaning(-; By the way, oregano oil works very well on humans. Wish I would have tried it last year!

Re: [Felvtalk] ringworm
Hi, I'm even older than you... I'm 80 and in the 1940's when I had ringworm, the treatment was just alcohol. I remember screaming when my mom put alcohol on my ringworm because it burned so much. It got rid of the stuff tho. Medicine didn't taste good in those days either. We got castor oil, and all sorts of awful tasting remedies. BTW go for the purple hair.

Re: [Felvtalk] ringworm
The oral meds can be very hard on the liver, I believe Itraconazole (sporanox) is considered the "safest", griseofulvin and ketoconzole can be dangerous, Griseofulvin should not be used in FIV+ cats (one of the main people on the former Ringworm group lost his FIV+ kitty that way), and my understanding is that Ketoconazole shouldn't be used in cats. Personally I would not use either, but if oral meds seem necessary would stick to Itraconazole. Just a two cents, I'm not a vet but know many here are already dealing with challenged kitties so wanted to mention :-) On Thu, Aug 22, 2013 at 8:49 PM, wrote: > As long as it works, that is what is important.

Re: [Felvtalk] ringworm
As long as it works, that is what is important. I know this is a bit late, but been busy taking care of Lil Bit, giving fluids, meds and syringe feeding. All to no avail, she passed last Friday. When I was a child, I got ringworm and my doctor (an old vet who went to Vienna and trained for people meds) used gentian violet on my head. It was purple, but got rid of the ringworm.

Re: [Felvtalk] ringworm
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.

Re: [Felvtalk] ringworm
Griseofulvin is the stuff that cannot be given to FIV cats. Causes bone marrow supression leading to dangerously low white blood cell counts. Griseofulvin has a lot of side effects including anemia & liver damage. I wouldn't use it for any cat unless nothing else worked.
