Pictures Of Ringworms

my new odd-eyed white kitten (pics) and ringworm - Cat Forum : Cat ...

Our kitten had ringworm and we just only caught it when we were supposed to be bringing him home--he had to stay another four weeks until he'd been treated and none of the hairs were fluorescing anymore. I know it sucks, but I think the best option is to keep him where he is if you can! Either that, or, he gets a separate room when he gets home and he stays there until he's been treated, nobody touches him except maybe you for that entire time and then you vacuum/disinfect the entire room once his treatment is finished. Ringworm in humans can be a disaster for pregnant women, small children and someone who is immune compromised, plus you'd have to pay for treatment for everyone who was infected if it happened! Honestly if I didn't work with pregnant women all the time I wouldn't have minded but I don't have to pay when I go to the doctor, either--I don't know how that works in Chile! Yeah...I have an extra empty room where I could keep the little one. Or wait another 4 weeks until dad (He's called "Papelito", he is the brother of Sun, my beloved cat that passed away 7 months ago...) gets better, but the owner is not treating mom or the kittens, mom because she's nursing, kittens because they are kittens, so it seems to me that the whole ringworm infection will never be over at that house (I think she -the owner- is making a mistake) because if dad gets better then he will re-infect from mom and kittens. Gosh so complicated... Ringworm is highly contagious. If the kitten is infected, which is likely, he may shed ringworm fungus spores on every surface he touches, and those spores can survive for a year or longer in your household environment. Separating him in his own room won't protect your other cats or yourself from contracting ringworm. If the other cats enter his room at any time within the next year or longer, they can still become infected. Of course you can try to disinfect every square inch of the room and everything in it (good luck with that), but you still run an extremely high risk of infection of you, your other cats, and any other animals (human or otherwise) who enter your household. If you have a separation room that doesn't have any rug or anything that would be the best, easiest to clean those rooms with a bleach solution afterwards.
