I wanted to share a new testimonial that we received from one of our customers. As the Customer Service Manager at Q-Based Healthcare, I am so happy my team is able to help customers with cat ringworm everyday. It makes for a very rewarding career. Here is what she wrote.

“Just wanted to let you know our story regarding a kitten we received from a Humane Society here in Washington State.

We brought this kitten home and noticed within a week a skin problem by her ear. We originally thought she had scratched herself, but as the week went on we realized that there was something wrong. We couldn’t get her into the veterinary clinic until Monday and by the end of the weekend we knew we had a problem. Monday, the veterinarian confirmed that she had ringworm. She sent us home with topical medication, and told us that we needed to get an oral medication also that had to be received from a compund drug pharmacy in our town. The visit to the veterinary came to a total of $17.92. The vet didn;t charge us for the office exam.

We came home and started the topical medication, and by Wednesday we had the oral medication, which came to $76.11, and gave it to our kitten. Yes, it helped, but new spots continued to come. We ordered a refill of the oral medication, another $76.11, and also went to the vet clinic and purchased another $17.92 in topical medication.

At this point, we were getting pretty concerned as it was spreading quite rapidly. I got on the internet and found your company and my husband said to order whatever. So, I ordered RW Super Pk for Small Breed Cats at the cost of $72.20 which included the postage. The day before Thanksgiving we received our order and started it right away. We could see a difference within two days! We continued the treatment and she was totally cleared of her ringworm in about 10 days. Fantastic!

I have also ordered XTREME CLEEN and I am cleaning as much of the house as possible. We have a grown daughter that has an immune disease and it is a concern of hers and ours that she doesn’t get ringworm as it could have a very harmful affect on her.

Thanks for your product. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. Wish we has known about it before we spent $188.06 on medication that didn’t do too much good. ”

Ringworm in cats, ringworm in dogs, rabbits or other animal is a fungal infection, not an actual worm. Many pets owners don’t realize what ringworm really looks like and will usally bring their pets to the Vet for diagnosis. Here is more details on how ringworm usally form. They usually appear as a small pimple-like growth that can begin growing into a scaly or crusty, red, raised area that sometimes can cause blisters and pustules. Hair around the ringworm areas can become thin and brittle in turn causing hair loss and bald spots in animals. As the ring start to grows, the center of the rash will usually turn into a more normal skin color, and you will be able to see the ring-shape or almost circular-shape.

Here are some of the most common symptoms of ringworm in animals:
Sometimes a patche of hair loss, matted wools, discoloration, crusty, thick lesion, pustules, thickened, red, oozing skin, if hair growth happened, it might grow back black, scarring can occur, hair becomes brittle, and swollen lesions.

As a CSR at Q-Based Healthcare, it’s very typically to get a call about ringworm in cats and dogs. Most of the customers that have pets with ringworm have either treated with something over-the-counter, an athlete’s foot cream or prescription from the vet. Many found that what they are using is not working or just keeping the ringworm at bay. Some even say the medication that they used caused the ringworm to spread. As I have tried to explain to many customers the medication cannot spread the ringworm, it’s the spores of the ringworms that spread if not treated correctly.
Many people have tried home remedies such as tea tree oil on their cats not knowing that this is very toxic to them. Some use sulfur based products that are made with HARSH yellow (lime) sulfur that STINKS and STAINS. Pet owners are required to use gloves and use in a well ventilated area, (Yellow sulfur is very corrosive to skin and can cause serious injury) it is also not recommend for small animals under 12 weeks of age.

What PetsBestRx use as their treatment is the White sulfur (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane)-it’s safe, non toxic, and non-staining, plus has a pleasant smell to them as well and they do not contain tea tree oil. This method has been proven to be 98% effective. Another product that is used in conjunction as a double protection is our Healing Spray/Infection Protection Gel which has anti-fungal properties to attack many fungal strains deep in the dermal layers. Beside the actual treatment, please remember that the treatment of your environment is also very important to sanitize to eliminates any spores, otherwise, you might constantly have ringworm outbreaks from one pet to another or even yourself. Good Luck!
