It definitely sounds like the ringworm me and dp had once.... the ring moves outwards but the skin in the centre starts to heal but becomes very dry and flakey. A friends little boy had it on his face a couple of months ago and was left with a very dry and flaky looking patch on his face long after the ringworm had cleared.

I treated ours with savlon and it went away after about a week but not sure you should use savlon on a kitten so young Confused

I'm pretty sure mange has other symptoms too as it's caused by mites.... itching and discomfort.

I'm wondering if its mange now :( Gross. At least it's not bothering him though...

My cat had acne on her face and I had to put shampoo on it. I used Paul Mitchell shampoo then so she was spoilt. I don't know if that would help in your kitten's case though.

Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED YOU OR ANYONE ELSE THAT IS CAT-WISE

Gingers little bald patch is weird and worrying me. Its starting to get new hair on, so it looks short and fluffy, but has grown (even relative to his growth) and the skin underneath looks flaky and a bit dry.

I bathed him earlier in baby shampoo to give it a clean after I got a PM from a cat-lover asking about it and I think now I must take him back to the vets. Any ideas what I can do in the meantime? I've googled ringworm which says its more likely a fully bald patch and on the head, legs, tail (which neither fit), he has no mites/fleas and is gaining weight still.

Ohhhhhhhhhh. :(

She has just come in so I have had to move everything off the sofa so she can sit down on it Grin.

TheOriginalFAB · 02/05/2011 14:20

Thank you. She has gone out at the moment so hopefully she is okay. DH and DS1 are taking the shed down so I hope she is well away from them!

Pinot - she has arthritis and hypoestesia which is liveable with but kidney failure which isn't and she won't recover.

Oh FAB I hope FabCat is going to be OK. My Dads oldest cat (he had 3) died 3 weeks ago at the grand old age of 18 and he was just beside himself. She was poorly for ages and watching her decline was very painful - though in the end she went peacefully. It's left a hole in their house though. What's wrong with FabCat and will she recover? {hugs}

Totally adorable kittens Grin.

They are making me feel very happy when I am feeling sad about my very old act being very poorly.

CestTout - you do know your Grandad's kitten went AWOL on purpose so it didn't have to go to the blue cross rescue place? WinkGrin.

OTheHugeManatee · 01/05/2011 23:52

Popped back in for a little

Please keep updating!

Glad your mini-break was fun, and all was well upon your return Pinot!

Love the new piccys'... their little wobbly legs and a big maternal Ruby...Smile

SummerRain · 01/05/2011 19:48

Hehe. I think so! My Nana died two years ago and the cats keep Grandad well occupied, we are all grateful about that (even when we are all sitting on the floor when cats are on chairs/sofas! Will add a pic soon!
