:Before I purchased my snowshoe kitten, the whole litter had ringworm and were treated systemically with griseofulvin and with topical meds also. Their vet pronounced them clear of ringworm. I brought him home, and now 2 months later both I and my other cat have ringworm. The kitten shows no signs of it. Both are indoor cats and have had no contact with other animals. What chance do we have of eradicating the ringworm?

Ringworm is tough to get rid of because it grows slowly and it is spread by spores, which can survive in the environment for a long time. There are several things I do to treat ringworm. First, put the cats on a good, fresh meat diet, and add yogurt and garlic. I give one dose of homeopathic Bacillinum 10M and one dose daily of Ringworm Nosode 30c. I use an antiyeast formula, giving one capsule daily, but this can also be opened, dissolved in a little water mixed with a drop of tea tree oil, and put on the lesions daily. The antiyeast formula contains goldenseal, black walnut hulls, garlic, and myrrh.
