Answer 1

Ringworm is contagious and believe me you don't want it! The medication he gave you is anti-fungal. I am wondering why you got another cat while you are treating your first one for ringworm...

Your description of the bugs on the newer kitty really is not making a clear picture in my head. Are they latched onto her? Do they jump? Why are you going to return her rather than help her? If the cats haven't been interacting with eachother and are separated you don't need to worry about them catching anything from eachother. If you could give me a better description I could probably help you better...

Hi there. Okay... for the first kitty... follow your vet's instructions. Don't apply over the counter medications without your vet's instructions. You could hurt the kitty. People drugs are not all good for kitties. You should return to the vet to see if the kitty is making progress, and the vet will give you new instructions if it's not getting better.

For the second kitty... don't ever get a kitty from a pet store or bad breeder! Kitties need to be well cared for and properly potty trained. Your local SPCA is probably the best place to get a kitty. I would take this kitty to the vet for a check-up and then I would go to the man and request money to pay for any treatment the kitty needs. You should not return this kitty. It needs protection from that bad man. (The kitty will probably just need some meds from the vet to cure it from the fleas. This is actually kind of normal with new kitties...)

Good luck with your kitties!!!!!  =^..^=

Answer 3

You will have to keep your kitty isolated until it is better.  As for your new kitty, keep it and take it to the vet.  It is obviously a sign that you should keep both cats, because they both need your help to stay alive.  Don't get anymore kitties though, yours will be better soon enough

Answer 4

If you have exposed the second kitten/cat to the one with the fungus (ringworm), then you should not return it.  Get a GOOD flea/tick treatment at a vet's office and apply it to the cat with the black bugs.  Cats do get ticks as well as fleas and the combination product would get rid of both.

Applying iodine to a ringworm spot is not anything I've ever heard of doing.  Neither is scrubbing it with a sponge.  You can get a ton of information on treating ringworm by googling.  The most effective treatment is a lime-sulpher dip, but that must be done with the supervision of a vet or trained professional.  Ringworm is contagious to other pets and to you.  If you happen to get any spots, they will itch a bit for a day or two and then will go away on their own.  Your kitten's ringworm will also go away on its own without treatment.

Whether or not you decide to treat it depends on your circumstances, but my experience is that the ringworm will go away on its own in approximately two weeks.  Some strains are more virulent than others, and your experience may be different.

Please do not support BREEDERS and others who sell cats and kittens.  Your situation is proof that buying a cat doesn't guarantee that it's healthy.  Adopt a homeless pet from a local shelter (www.petfinder.com) instead.

ive had lots of ringwormed cats in my fostering life. try tea tree oil w/ lavender in it. it smells like eucalyptus. it takes a couple days but it really works!!! also wash ur hands after every time u touch him/her
