 Ringworm
I'm going thru the ringworm thing and it is very difficult. My vet did not disclose everything to me also. I will probably be changing vets. Ringworm is very contagious and you and your other pets can get it. I adopted my baby at 10 weeks and she is 19 weeks. She has infected everybody she has come in contact with (two, possibly three other dogs, and three people). Yes, me and my husband got ringworm from her also. I had to see my doctor to get medication to clear my up. I needed more than over the counter stuff. I am bathing my dogs every other day (special shampoo), along with their bedding and toys. I am also mopping my floors every other day with bleach, along with their kennels. Vet/medication bills since I adopted her are over $1600,00. All my dogs have to be separated because they can get it from each other. (I do let my two yorkies play together, but try to keep them from full contact on each other.) A dog dermatologist told me that they are clear of ringworm until they have two negative results and this could take two months. Well, I'm past that timeframe and we still have it. Everything has to be cleaned if she or my other dogs touch it. My water bill doubled because I am washing constantly. My hands are swollen from washing them so often. Please look it up on the computer to find out more, because you are in for a tough ride ahead. I am wishing you and your pups the best, believe me. I am going thru it and it is difficult. Please let me know if you need anything. |
