this may have been mentioned already but what test was done to diagnose the ringworm?
Yes this was done at the vets office that works with the shelter to confirm that it is ringworm. they did take skin cultures for a diagnosis. He is on an oral anti-fungal is smells yeasty....It is so gross this poor little guy is so sweet he does not deserve this....
