To wash a cat~

Some cats enjoy a bath, when we adopted Breeze from the SPCA, no sooner got her home we got a phone call from the SPCA that Breeze's brother had just been diagnosed with ring worm and we should bring here back. NO WAY we had fallen in love with this wee thing. Soooo off to the vet to see what could be done, the SPCA said they would pay for the treatment but we said we would take care of it. The vet had to order the medication so she said in the mean time dip her in a lime sulfur warm water solution once a day, yep the same thing you use on fruit trees. She was so small she fit in a jug we used for juice.
We both put on gloves expecting she would struggle but she just sat in it and even purred. when the medication came in it was a small pill which I had to crush into four portions, she got 3 a day mixed in a bit of butter which she licked off my finger. Since then if I didn't shut the door she would jump in the bathroom sink every time I turned the tap on and lay under it. We had Breeze for 18 years, here's a picture of her at 17.
We were told her mother was a pure bred Persian that had got out on her owner when she was in heat, she obviously had a good time but her litter ended up at the SPCA. The only casualties were our doberman who got ring worm on her nose and Kayla, teach her for sticking her nose where it didn't belong, but then she gave it to DH. Took Kayla to the vet, she gave me the ointment, I said make that a big tube hubby's got it too.

BREEZE at 17.

Ringworm is my biggest fear. I stopped grooming cats years ago, I like to keep my blood on the inside.

When about 9, my cat gave me ringworm~ took about a month, I think, to be rid of it, don't know what happened to the cat~

Ringworm in cats is easily cured nowaday, the oral meds work from the skin out. I can't remember how many weeks it took but it was less than 6. We took her back to the vet, she was scoped and her fur was free of any sign of ringworm. I'm glad we went to the trouble she was a real little treasure.
