I did read that it can take up to 3 weeks for the culture. They wait and see if it grows, or something. And that can take 3 weeks. I have also read that they can do it under a light, but the Vet we went to didn't offer to do it that way. What I didn't understand is that he charged 50.00 for the culture and then prescribed Ring Worm medication anyways. By the time the culture comes back we will know if it is Ring Worm by whether the medication worked. The medication he said we would get in the mail in 7 to 10 days. And we just got it yesterday. However we have been using the Lamosil, because it started spreading to other parts of her body and we weren't sure when we would get the medication and had to do something. Now the medication we got was not what the Dr. said he was sending us, so we are sending it back and just sticking to the Lamosil. Needless to say it is time to find a better Vet.
