Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Yorkies chances of ring worm from kitten? I rescued a kitten 2 weeks ago from a reputable rescue group. Within 7 days she was diagnosed with a URI. I got her started on meds and 5 days later she is diagnosed with ring worm. She is now back at the rescue until the ring worm is cleared and I can finish decontaminating . The problem is that although I had her in her own cage, my Yorkies would go by and “say hi” by licking and smelling. My other cat stayed far away since he hadn’t accepted a new family member yet. I have an appointment in a few days to have all of my pets checked out and I spent today cleaning, washing and giving baths. I’m just wondering if anyone knows how likely my Yorkies are to get it? |

| I have no advice, your vet is the best choice. Poor lil kitty off to a bad start hope this will be the end of lil kitty illness issues so she can begin her new life with her furever family.

| According to google yes your yorkie can catch it from your kitten Can Dogs Get Ringworm from Cats? YES! People may think because dogs and cats differ vastly biologically, that your dog could not catch ringworm from your cat, but it absolutely can! Due to the highly contagious nature of the fungal infection, it is certainly possible for your dog to catch ringworm from your cat. So understanding the symptoms and treatment options is essential in a house that contains infected pets. Read more at: https://wagwalking.com/wellness/can-...worm-from-cats

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Thanks, I went to the vet yesterday and he said that right now they are all clear but I will have to keep checking and cleaning for several weeks but fortunately there are several methods of getting rid of it if they do get it. I have sanitized everything and will have to do that once a week for the next few weeks to try to make sure they stay clear but there’s no guarantee.🙁 The kitten is doin better but will be at the rescue until next Friday when I can bring her back home. |
