You'll have to continue to bleach everything since it is a spore and floats in the air. Oral medication, cremes and shampoos are a must. It is curable just takes a couple of months.
Best of luck. |
Well the vet used a black light to see if the scab on my boston was ringworn and it was slightly positive, so thats why he gave me the shampoo. He said he couldnt give me oral meds until the culture cam back and if it was positive he would start the meds then. He told me to shampoo every 3 days and after rinsing put more shampoo on the scabs and let it dry. The second step he told me to do everyday. Then he said when the shampoo dries put the antifungal cream on it and then let that dry. I tried to make them sleep in a confined area last night and it worked till about 3am and then they realized they werent with me and barked and cried for a half an hour, until I couldnt take it no more. So I let them in my bed, and made them sleep on top of the covers, this morning I seen my boston just biting and scratching away so I got up to look at her and found 2 new scabs, one of them being on her eyelid. I felt so bad I got up and bathed both of them, scrubed really well, and followed my vets routine he gave me. I am washing everything again, I guess this will be my routine everyday now till its gone. I just feel so bad for my boston because she is so little and she looks irritated. I am going to call the vet and tell him whats going on, maybe he will just give her oral meds, so she doesnt have to suffer anymore. Thanks for the advise everyone, especially tatumsmom, I am going to try to nip it in the bud, I just hope I dont go crazy in the process. Anymore experience and help would be appriciated, I like knowing Im not the only one who is or has gone throught this. Thanks, keep you updated!
