Adopted kitten with ringworm unknowingly. Is it absolutely necessary to isolate him? He craves love. Help!?
Ten days ago I adopted my little Figs, an 8 week old kitten, who is suffering from an URI, a bite wound from a dog, and a broken tail. Two days ago I noticed some hair loss and scaling around his ears. I took him to the vet and was instructed to give him a lime sulfur bath once every five days. I am treating him topically with Clotromazole cream 2 times a day as well. He is also on Clavamox 2 times a day for his URI, as well as 250 mg of L-lysine for immune support, and Terramycin for infection in his eye. I'm so conflicted as to whether I should isolate him or not. Figs has had such a hard young life and it is killing me to keep him in a cold tiled bathroom. Is it possible to allow him to "hang" in rooms other than bedrooms?? He is so young and loving. He absolutely crave attention. I'm using gloves and covering all skin while playing with him. I just don't know what to do. Anyone with experience please help. My little Figaro needs us....Thanks.
