Good luck, Cairo! Keep us posted. What was the name of the fungus spray you used?

Cairo has a vet appt today at 6pm so we will begin testing.

This is kind of what I went through with Tyler and Zoey–they were on antibiotics and sprays and when they kept getting more sores and bald patches, they did more tests, and came back with ringworm.....They have only improved since being on the antifungal pills and have almost normal skin now. The dose has been reduced; but because their case covered such large areas on their bodies, they had to be on the pills quite a while. Keep us posted.

There are different drugs for ringworm, but Tyler and Zoey have been on ketaconazole. Their dermatoloigst says it's relatively safe, but there can be problems. Tyler and Zoey have been doing fine; and in a few days, they will only be taking it once every other day instead of once a day.

The vet said last night that it is the smallest amount of dermatitis she has seen.

She put him on the same antibiotic for 4 weeks to see if that will be enough to get rid of it.
