Guh - Arty has Ringworm
The tiny kitty we adopted a few weeks ago is now playing host to ringworm, the vet confirmed yesterday. For those who are unfamiliar, ringworm is not a worm, but rather a fungal infection. It's not life threatening, but is very irritating to the animal and contagious for both animals and people.
Fortunately, neither we nor our other cat have any signs of it--the vet attributes this to our mature immune systems. But now we have to give poor Moriarty lime sulfur baths. Not looking forward to that at all.
Does anyone else have any experience with this? Anything we can do to make the recovery go faster?
Re: Guh - Arty has Ringworm
It would be really difficult to wash our hands after every time we pet him. He's very much a lap kitty and we'd have to quarantine him to keep that up. The vet thinks that if we were going to break out, we would have by now and we've been applying medicated wipes to the infected areas, which stops the spread. Ugh, poor goofy kitty. At least he's still little, so bathing him will be a little less arduous.

Update - I called the shelter where we got him to tell them about it, just in case other kitties were also infected. They could not have been more apologetic and offered to cover our vet bills and even bathe him if we don't want to do it ourselves.
I thought it was a little weird, though, that she said I could return him if I wanted to. Why would I want to return my kitty? Even if he does have a fungus, we still love him. I know there are people out there who would want to return a "defective" kitty, but that just seems so heartless.
