Tablets for ringworm

by Sanne

Another treatment device against the ring, the fungal tablets.

Currently, only Gizmo and Niki, as we at Tinka nothing is broken.

First I had to stop it in the mouth with both lay back tablet on the tongue and mouth to keep until the tablet is swallowed tried. After all, this is the veterinary version. Both were very refined, the tablets have hidden under the tongue until I let go and then spit out the tablet. Or something like that, maybe I'm not tough enough zuzuhalten strangling cats the muzzle. :)
So wait half an hour to process the two this traumatic experience could be used to trick 17: ground beef. Tinka was initially in the kitchen and has gotten a little bit. One should not, these sensitive animals so treated unequally ;) Then half a tablet for Gizmo wrapped in minced meat and brought him. When I came back, the pellet was minced with small residual neatly on the tiles. Thank you also. Niki has thrown himself on his meat, which would have devoured a whole pill, without realizing it. After all, a little success. So Gizmos medicine a second time, packed, of course, the same game. A third time, this time entirely denied. The tablet was whitish and dissolve already on the meat, I would not want to eat more. Since Tinka had still received no meat, I gave her the packaged tablet stalled. I had expected that she realizes that this is not pure ground beef, but she probably wanted to do a favor, and the tablet has mitgefuttert. Well, now she has received prophylactic medicine. It will not harm her. :)
Gizmo has been around the tablet drum, tomorrow I will attack again. I have plenty of ground beef ...

No way! The next day I thought to have learned and hid half the tablet directly in ground beef. Revulsion, disgust and contempt towards me beat. Okay, so ne-half tablet is indeed quite large. So smaller tablet and then mixed with minced meat. Nice try, man! But so what, we do not eat.
Why are there in this house Wiskas? We feed our cats that do not, but we did get it from Niki's family. The whole flavor enhancers and so addictive to be good for something, and if it is just paper over for tablets taste. So I brought the meat back scorned, rausgepuhlt tablet pieces and mixed with the Wiskas. All three jumped on this "delicacy". I thought they had found a magic formula.

On the third day of treatment tablets (Sunday), I knew I had to act. Each a spoonful of sugar and flavor enhancers (that I can represent even the grad) sit down with chopped tablet. Um, yes, what was the same with contempt? Niki I had to constantly wegzerren of the bowl of the Panther, as he had smelled at probably the tablet. Anyway, he read Tinka and Gizmo do not eat in peace, but pushed them away. Not with me! So I locked him out of the kitchen, but now both passed our appetite. So I locked away Tinka, so they do not have the tablet and eats Niki and Gizmo left alone. After half an hour, the food was still there. After we came back from the pool and everything was cleaned away, the only question is who had the three, for mercy now.

Today, once again an attempt to taste aberration. Although Tinka has mixed tablet no, she wanted nothing of it. Smart cat :) Now standing in the kitchen three bowls, each with a spoon and small Tablettenstückchen addictive. Three cats are scattered throughout the house, ignoring my carefully crushed tablets.

I am afraid I must think of me tomorrow what brand new. Sausage maybe.

Meanwhile I had been looking for many Twitter and Facebook for advice. Of caviar (not sure) on liver sausage (there are not) and yogurt (not eating one patient) were proposed. Sausage I've tried first with Niki. The sausage he hit me from the hand, the tablet fell to the ground. The next test I tried to hold the package with Niki administered. Numerous bloody scratches and bruises later, I dropped out in frustration. With Gizmo I have not even tried it then.

Liverwurst I would like to try, but unfortunately I have not seen any here.

Currently, we leave out the tablets, as we all nerves are strained by the procedure and we are not sure whether the tablets have side effects. First, I had to read what other patients of liver injury, the two extremely sleepy since they had taken the tablets. So the cats are just creamed that is already stressful enough. With Gizmo, we have watched the last few days, his right eye that he always easy to squint, scabs, however, we could not verify. It is under close watch, since the extra tender loving care for him means he likes it very well ... :)

Cat Bathing - Treatment for ringworm

by Sanne

A daily part of the treatment, the ointment on the cats to distribute. The ointment is applied almost stress free. Niki likes to be it was not recorded, but by joining forces we succeed in general to complete his treatment, especially as he indeed has only one point on the head.
Gizmo is problematic, as are affected by it three, now we have found a fourth body. It cost me so far a skirt, keep it firmly so that Andi was able to distribute the cream.

In addition, three times a week swimming is on the agenda.

First, we faced the problem that we have two bathrooms only a fixed shower head. Quite clearly, so that no cat can get wet, rinse down as much again. The idea to let water run in to make the cats get wet, soap and "go underground" was quickly rejected. Also in a bathing Wanner they lather and in the other bathroom in clear water rinses unthinkable. Which cat can be just once in the wet state peacefully 10m carry around? In the guest bathroom we have a short tube, but no tub abzuspühlen to the cats, wash basin is as unsuitable. :)

Then came the garden hose into the game. You may bathe the cats out there? Unsuitable for Niki, he may not get out, our two would run away as fast. Moreover, the impression it makes on the neighbors, who would run over. Onlookers, two-and four-legged kind were inevitable. So the garden hose scams. The solution was found. Through the door we went, but what else are sliding patio? :)

Since we had no motorcycle leather gear on hand, had a pair of jeans in my case, rich, Andy put on his swimming trunks, he wanted to keep the cats in the bathtub sitting. We started with Tinka, she seemed to us the most trouble. We were right. Make wet was still feasible, as soon as we came towards the head with the hose, she resisted. In the soap it has kept pretty quiet, the rinse down again but the same dilemma. Head is an absolute no go. Out of the tub and lift out to dry just happened quickly. I had left the towel on the toilet, because of short distances. Fortunately, she has had in the first minute to do everything with it. After that, then good, just balancing was on and jump off the bidet something difficult, with wet feet. :)

Next, we tried our luck with Niki. Would be the best again jumped out of the tub out when he was only on pads gespührte water. So join forces press firmly into the pan and the first time only water marsh. As soon as possible and distribute water with three hands, the shampoo. Again, he would cut down the most, trying with a claw durchboren to the tube. :) also a fight, dry - rinse down.

10941_nasser_niki

Gizmo, I had already locked up in a bed and breakfast, so I could get him easily. He had fortunately not hiding under the bed. :) who paid into the bath inside, the water does not share. The cat definitely has the most power of the three. Accordingly, he also fought most vigorously. At some point, Andi sat on top of him, Gizmo braced himself with extended claws against the bathtub wall, I then tried to take only still with the hose Andi around Gizmo. The bathing suit here was very useful. :-P When foaming, he was back to relative peace and not with the rinse down. But the weight of this cat, with wet fur. By the two cats in front of him and the preceding water fight was the towel rather wet, but I wanted to dry him, so he went out on wets the matter out.

Fortunately, we survived the operation without injuries. Only this gizmo has me scratching missed yesterday when he was in his kennel. With imported treats, we have the three quickly brought back to purring. How did they look like small hedgehogs. Niki was fastest with his thin skin dry again, Tinka has a very little wet undercoat and Gizmo can we cuddle and pat dry. Even three hours after the bath the skin in the two is slightly damp. We currently have around 30 degrees in the house, because we have identified the air to speed up the drying process by heat. Also must be a yes, by cold air currents provoked cold not be the cats. Let out probably would have been easiest, but not in the midday heat. Today you can also rediscover the cats in them. :)

A positive side effect, with Gizmo, we had recently felt he had grown excessively. With adjacent skin he but looked really slim. In addition, the skin felt softer and smells very little bit better than road dust in the likes rolled.

Ringworm - a fungal infection

by Sanne

A few days ago we were struck on the head with Niki a scabby place. That is felt, it was just the night there. First, we had booked to a minor injury. Niki attacks by preference Gizmo, which naturally resists with a slap in the face, some with claws extended. So we thought of a scratch that had already formed scabs.

10916_niki_schorf_ringwurm_pilz

But days after the matter was not better and also the shape, a circle, spoke against an injury, we were suspicious. Alarmed, we were then, as we found in dry places like Gizmo from the ear and the whisker bed. When Tinka we can not find anything in the places and Niki has only one point on the head. As shown in the picture seems to point at Niki break, which came only in the last hours.

10914_gizmo_ringwurm_schnurrhaare

So we brought Niki and Gizmo to the vet yesterday. First, Gizmo was his turn, the two sites were briefly illuminated with UV light and the diagnosis was made. Ringworm . Next, Niki was illuminated. Again, the place shone green. The veterinarian had seen the oval crust and it as very likely "culprits" are identified. This all fits in that the incubation period lasts about four weeks and Niki now for five weeks with us.

Of course, the interview was conducted in English, so that it be that we can play some medical trifles not entirely accurate. This is probably a fungus that can cause these scabby areas on the head and legs. If left untreated, it can also lead to nail bed infections. Furthermore, this fungus is transmitted to humans. Juchheißa! The spores can survive up to one year in carpets or furniture, so we now pending a thorough deep cleaning. A little luck is that we have the right to an annual carpet cleaning. Only with the sofas, we must still consider what. O-Ton veterinarian: "The whole house should be disinfected. In addition, the cats are kept in one room to the spores do not spread to the house. "But we can sometimes forget about. Especially since the spores are indeed already distributed throughout the apartment. For us that is now thoroughly wash hands, disinfect regularly and before we go somewhere to change clothes. In the hope that the spores do not survive the washing machine. :)

The cats will also have a lot of fun. Once a day we should try to give them half a tablet. Twice a day, the authorities must be creamed with an ointment. The greatest pleasure is but bathing and shampooing, three times a week. Basically, yes have at least the two Panther nothing against water and get wet, lather it? We will report our hurt and show compassion begging.

10910_gizmo_pilz_schnurrhaare

The fungus is in Europe being relatively rare, we have only a forum of the brevity of cats found in which the topic Fungal / ring worm infection treatment. But he sounds in subtropical and tropical regions around more often. Around our house regularly sneak around five cats in which we found on a cursory level no dry spots. Would be interesting to know whether the Siemens Compound, where Niki comes from, the common mushroom. According to the veterinarian, who have 60% of cats in Saudi Arabia, the spores with him. So it seems likely that Gizmo and Tinka is the fungus had not yet been captured when they go out longer. So that's now gone a little faster. They are immunized against this fungus through the unique disease, but there are plenty of other fungi that exist to test ...!
The vet told us that there is no vaccine, at a first search, but we have a vaccine, "INSOL Dermaphyton (Boehringer) found. This must be administered twice within 14 days. Another source says, however, that a vaccine showed no protective effect. It would also necessary to consider whether a vaccine would cost the purest source ~ 120 € per cat, really necessary if immunized after infection, the cat anyway. In addition, it must really be vaccinated against any disease?

Life-threatening, the fungus is not known, but authorities are uncomfortable itching. This effect of the fungus to us humans, so we hope not to have infected. Apart from Gizmo and Niki seem yet to have a blessing in disguise, because the infection does not itch at the top apparently. Because scratching behavior, we found none. Alhamdulilah! So at least something! :)

10919_shampoo_creme_tabletten_gegen_ringwurm

We were already in the pharmacy to get the tablets and shampoo. So that we can start as soon as possible with the treatment. While we at Tinka can not find anything, but the bath will also make them (I fear we) do not come around drum. The cream (Canesten) will probably soon have an impact and can also be applied to humans. This seems to be the safest method of treatment for me. The tablets (Lamisil was prescribed Lamifen given us) and the shampoo (active ingredient ketoconazole) are probably not for long-term treatment sentiments more ... ;)

Summer visitor in the cat hotel

by Sanne

Over the summer we have a small cat visits, his family, especially in Germany bored and looking for a hotel for Niki. Since we are only in September for a week away, we play up to that cat hotel.

Niki is a little stray dog, a few months old, which had bitten off the Siemens Compound cats ear, so he was taken from the family. It is still not fully healed and he scratches the wound again and again.

9873_niki_schlafend_unter_stuhl

End of June, Niki ever been short with us, the behavior of the two blacks to test. At that time, Niki has been largely ignored. If he came too close, he was hissed, as there were no spontaneous fights, we decided to try it.

Since Wednesday, he is now with us, now it's back here to start. For just a little playful kitten Estimation, 3-4 months, bringing life to the place. If Tinka and Gizmo with her three years become smoother, Niki in the game engine is very, very strong. So everything is under attack by Upholstered slips under chairs, curtains, feet and hands, to black tail tips. Although this brings him a blow, but curiosity is stronger than the learning effect. :) Funny to watch, as he takes a ball and suddenly realizes that there is indeed a big cat. Will he hissed, he throws himself on the back immediately in order to play back or hisses and pulls down under a cupboard, where it will be like a tasty mouse stalked. Also, the cat tree, we have bought and hoped that both of our record on him, was taken directly in hardware. Tinka and Gizmo had ignored the balls on the scratching post so far, yesterday had to be looked at once what was so interesting. I'm curious if the black players in two weeks more, if it makes them provided by Niki on.

Right now they fluctuate between his insults, jealousy and want to cuddle, as if to make sure that we have loved her more.

Another ignore safety distance is maintained, but I'm sure that in the next seven weeks a few changes. Because unlike the situation with my parents are here for a puppy, and six years not a bitchy cat.

There are more pictures in the Gallery Niki .
