[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 68436, member: 2287"] First of all, Kjs, ringworm is highly contagious to humans and other animals. It's defined by a perfect circle where the hair falls out and it itches unmercifully. It must be treated by a doctor (vet or MD) with antibiotics and a topical ointment. I'm not a cat lover, but a neighbor found a kitten at the park when we were there with our toddlers (yes, a looong time ago). She took it home and we all lah-de-dah'ed over it and we ALL got ringworm. My four-year-old had it right on top of his head....lost a big plug of hair. I had it on the inside of my elbow and in my eyebrow. My daughter had it on her arm. ARG....! I was young, embarrassed and mortified (if I had only known then what I know now). That incident did not help me learn to love cats (not that dogs don't get it, too). If there's any doubt, get your pet to the vet before it's costly, ugly and uncomfortable for all of you. [/QUOTE]
