What is Ringworm in pets

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Ringworm is a fungal infection, not an actual worm itself. Many people get confused when they hear about ringworms. Human, animals including cats and dogs can also get ringworm.  The best prevention for ringworm is to disinfect anything that you are not familiar with -especially, if you are in public areas.

I have to say that ringworm is contagious but in rare cases, some people are immune to it and will never get ringworm-this goes for both human and their pets.  I know this from my own experience with many customers and pets as well.

I also notice that ringworm in cats and ringworm in dogs is very common. Cat are known to be the ringworm carrier which sometimes they don’t even have any symptoms, but guess what if you have a cat and one day you start popping out with ringworm sores, you better get your cat a treatment for ringworm.

Let me just tell you about some of the pet’s owner that I have spoken to whom have dealt with ringworm on their cats. Anita was one of my favorite customers. She owns a cat name, Precious who somehow contracted ringworm sores on her back and one right on her face.  Mrs. Anita who sounds like she in her 50′s was worried dearly for her cat when she found out that Precious have cat ringworm. Of course,  I could understand her point, she doesn’t have any kids and lives alone with just her cat.

One day, Precious started to have these pimples on her back, but within a few days, it starts to form like a circular, raised, red shape with normal skin tone in the middle. She didn’t know what it was so she decided to bring her cat to the Vet. The Vet automatically diagnose Precious with ringworm when he saw her. Mrs Anita was freaked out -she have tried questioning the Vet to learn more about it. All the Vet told her was it’s a fungal infection and to put Precious on some topical creams, and advise her if Precious is not responding the cream, he will try to put her on oral medications.  Unfortunately, Precious did not respond well to the ringworm treatment at all, within just a few days, she started popping out with more ringworms on her face.

Mrs. Anita was so frustrated and decide to browse online for an alternative topical Ringworm Treatment  that is cheaper and affordable, but yet effective. She called and talked to me, while I guided her through it. Yes, she did ask me many questions and I gave her all the answers. She also wanted to learn about the horrible side effects the oral medication can do to her cat if she chose to go that way. She was tearing while talking with me for possibly saving her cat’s life. I suggested for her the superpack, the complete kit that contains hospital Grade disinfectant to eliminate the ringworm spores in her environment. She was very excited to try our products, and sure enough, 10 days later, she called back and said the ringworms on her cat had cleared up. She thanked me over and over again.  I just love my job and I love helping people just like Mrs. Anita. You can click here to view our pet website.
