Hi felv friends,


I was away from emails for several days, so I am not sure whether bathing 
options has been mentioned in this thread about ringworm. If they been 
mentioned, please skip this email. If not, here they are: 

I know 2 shampoos can eliminate ringworm very effectively by just bathing the 
cat (or just his/her infected area) twice a week.  

1. Malaseb shampoo: it contains 2% Miconazole which can treat ringworm very 
effectively. It is available on Amazon. 
2. Nizoral Shampoo: it is a human dandruff shampoo made with Ketoconazole. The 
1% version can be obtained in drug stores. Although taking Ketoconazole by 
mouth could make cat lethargy, such side effect is less seen when only using it 
by bathing as far as I know. There is also a pet version of 2% Ketoconazole 
shampoo, but you will need a prescription to get that. 

hope it helps.

I'm on Digest version of this list, and it's not easy to reply... but I learned 
about Gentian Violet when I was a kid, and it worked great for ringworm - mine 
was on my hand.  I've since used it on cats when appropriate and it worked.  I 
generally use Golden Seal tincture (from the health food store, about $8), as 
it works well and isn't purple.  But have used Malaseb shampoo and it worked 
well. I don't use Grisiofulvin since it's systemic, unless it's a bad case of 
ringworm - has a Persian like that so did use the Grisiofulvin.

I read up on Advantage Multi a while back, and didn't like some of the reports 
of it - so I never use Advantage Multi.

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'm not a great proponent of herbal flea

 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.

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.

Hi felv friends,

I was away from emails for several days, so I am not sure whether 
bathing options has been mentioned in this thread about ringworm. If 
they been mentioned, please skip this email. If not, here they are:
I know 2 shampoos can eliminate ringworm very effectively by just 
bathing the cat (or just his/her infected area) twice a week. 
1. Malaseb shampoo: it contains 2% Miconazole which can treat 
ringworm very effectively. It is available on Amazon. 2. Nizoral 
Shampoo: it is a human dandruff shampoo made with Ketoconazole. The 
1% version can be obtained in drug stores. Although taking 
Ketoconazole by mouth could make cat lethargy, such side effect is 
less seen when only using it by bathing as far as I know. There is 
also a pet version of 2% Ketoconazole shampoo, but you will need a 
prescription to get that.

hope it helps.

While the cat is still in a state of shock locate the Kitty Bubbles and squirt whatever part of him is above the water line. You have just begun the wildest 45 seconds of your life. Remember that cats have no handles and add the fact that he now has soapy fur. His state of shock has worn off and he’s madder than hell.
7) As best you can, wearing welder’s gloves, try to field his body as he catapults through the air toward the ceiling. If possible, give another squirt of Kitty Bubbles with his body now fully exposed.
8) During the 5 seconds you are able to hold onto him, rub vigorously. No need to worry about rinsing. As he slides down the glass enclosure into the tub, he will fall back into the water, rinsing himself in the process.
9) Only attempt the lather and rinse process about 3 times. The cat will realize the lack of traction on the glass by then and will use the next attempt on the first available part of you.
10) Next, the cat must be dried. No, this is NOT the easiest part. By this stage, you are worn out and the cat has just become semi-permanently affixed to your right leg. We suggest here that you drain the tub and in full view of your cat, reach for the bottle of Kitty Bubbles.
11) If you have done step 10 correctly, the cat will be off your leg and hanging precariously from your helmet. Although this view of the cat is most disgusting, he will be in a much better position for wrapping the towel around him.
12) Be sure cat is firmly wrapped in towel before opening tub enclosure. Open bathroom door. Put towel-wrapped cat on floor and step back quickly. Into tub, if possible, and do not open enclosure until all you can see is the shredded towel.
13) In about 2 hours, it will be safe to exit the bathroom. Your cat will be sitting out there somewhere looking like a small hedgehog while plotting revenge. But doesn’t he smell better?

With FeLv+ cats or any cats for that matter, it's always good to get the vet's opinion on what shampoo to use or not. Remember that some residue of the shampoo may be absorbed through the cat's skin. If you want to know more about cat diseases (or cattle, pig, horse, rabbit or anything disases) you can go to www.merckmanuals.com and click on The Merck Veterinary Manual. They list everything there. It's really wonderful. If you want to know about a particular medication you are told to use, go to www.drugs.com and type "cat medication" in the search area. Everything is listed in alphabetical order. You will discover that Malaseb is for dogs and horses. You might want to hold off using this on a cat or kitten. Ketochlor and other shampoos that begin with Keto- should be used only under the recommendation of a veterinarian. This one forms a coating of the substance on the cat's skin and lasts long after the shampoo has been used, according to the information on drugs.com. I'm not sure that shampooing a cat is for everyone. I tried it once or twice. What I got was a mass of soap bubbles and foam with ears and eyes, racing around the house, screaching and snarling. Getting a cat to stand around for 5 to 10 minutes while the shampoo works, as advised in the information, is sooo not realistic. If you do want to shampoo, notify your next of kin first. Incidentally, it was a flea shampoo I used on an adult cat who was usually Mr. Charming but turned into a vampire the minute the water and soap hit him. This was before I found out about Capstar and Frontline Plus, many moons ago.

Hi felv friends,

I was away from emails for several days, so I am not sure whether bathing
options has been mentioned in this thread about ringworm. If they been
mentioned, please skip this email. If not, here they are:

I know 2 shampoos can eliminate ringworm very effectively by just bathing
the cat (or just his/her infected area) twice a week.

1. Malaseb shampoo: it contains 2% Miconazole which can treat ringworm very
effectively. It is available on Amazon.
2. Nizoral Shampoo: it is a human dandruff shampoo made with Ketoconazole.
The 1% version can be obtained in drug stores. Although taking Ketoconazole
by mouth could make cat lethargy, such side effect is less seen when only
using it by bathing as far as I know. There is also a pet version of 2%
Ketoconazole shampoo, but you will need a prescription to get that.

hope it helps.

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! I bet that was no fun. And of course, it didn't 
help much. Sadistic male gynecologists.

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!

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. My hair is thin too, so maybe I'll try
it :-)

BETH - Now that I am 73 and have gone thru 4 different chemos, my hair is 
thinning.  Guess I will have to find some gentian Violet and paint my head 
purple.  I will fit in with all the younger crowd who like all colors of hair.

Yes, Program does work great. And I think you only give it once of twice. 
Yes, the liquid oral meds are extremely toxic.

You can also use a cream for athletes foot. As your vet what the safe amount 
would be on cat skin.

Re: [Felvtalk] ringworm

2013-08-23 Thread Heather
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 :-)

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 messy and stinky, but 
effective.

Good luck.

WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG A DR. USED GENTIAN VIOLET ON ME FOR RINGWORM.  WORKED,

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.

I've used program in the past, too, & it worked wonders. Do be very careful 
about the meds you give for ringworm. I know there is a liquid that is toxic to 
FIV cats.

[Felvtalk] ringworm

2010-03-03 Thread Emeraldkittee
just wondering if anyone had a FeLV baby with ringworm?  Whimsy is not inside 
yet, but has started to yank his own fur out - he's got a few red spots 
suddenly that look similiar to scraped knees in people.  I'm planning on doing 
a skin scrape per my vet's instructions but I'm concerned if a) the test takes 
time to send to a lab is ok to bring him in? b) I won't be able to bathe him / 
nor do the sulfar dips, so it would have to be oral meds c) can I treat him 
while he's outside for this? 
 
I can't risk our whole household being infected especially with two other 
immune supressed kitties. 
 
ugh, this throws a curve ball into the plan.  This just started about 1 wk ago 
with lesions appearing about 3 days ago.  I was hoping to get him back to the 
vet and inside over the next week.
 
Thanks so much, these posts are so helpful and interesting.
