RingWorm
Hi everybody, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this
question but I'm having a big issue with my kittens and do not know how to resolve it. i have two Persian kittens - 4 month-old brothers and they just started loosing fur around their heads a couple of weeks ago. the vet ran a test and we do not have the result yet but they said it may be ringworm. the more i research about this the more im convinced that they got it from the Vet Clinique when I took them there for their vaccination . they started loosing Fur about a week after they went to he Vet the first time. they have changed me a lot of money for the test and im sure there is more coming. i wanted to talk to the owner of the Clinique about this but i wasn't sure if my assumption was correct. I'm a newbie and maybe wrong. the kittens have never been outdoors and have not been in contact with other animals. how on earth could have they gotten the fungi unless from the vet Clinique? please let me know if you can help me with this. im really stressed out about this specially because i have a young child at home. any information will be very much appreciated. thanks |

This doesn't seem to be the greatest place to seek help from my limited experience from just today. I had much better luck at www.catforum.com - good luck with your kittens, I wish them (and yourself) the best of luck. Hopefully the vet will admit if it is potentially their fault. |
