We took our kitten to get desexed and he came back with ringworm. I know this because of the incubation period. He is also an indoor cat and has no contact with other animals. I am told that during the desexing operation, the animals immune system is not as strong and so this may be a reason for him picking it up here. I'm sad that when he had his vaccination there earlier in the year, we weren't asked to vaccinate against ringworm. I understand this may not be a priority, however after speaking to others, their vets have vaccinated their kittens against it. It has taken many months to get rid of the fungus. We took him back to Morayfield vet, to confirm that it was ringworm, and I had to buy creams and a wash to help it. I returned a few days later as it only became worse. I also bought a cone to prevent him cleaning the cream from the sores and scratching and re-opening the sores. His head was completely covered in bloody scabs and the cream just wasn't working. I ended up taking him to a different vet to get a second opinion where we were given medication for him. This seemed to work (as incredibly slow as it was) however it has also taken months of him wearing the cone in order to heal. The hair is VERY slowly regrowing back. It has been incredibly sad (not to mention very expensive) to watch our young pet go through this. I can't stress enough how important it is vaccinate your pet not only for the regular recommended standard vaccines, but also for ringworm! It is a horrible horrible disease that takes a VERY long time to eradicate.
