Basically bought my kitten to a vet (rescued from outdoors) and he was diagnosed with scabies and ringworm. Doctor applied an antifungal ointment to him and gave him medicine. He told me that this will spread to human but assured me it won’t harm me. Just wash my hands after I handled the kitten.
This was 4 days ago. The kitten lives in my room together with me but NOT on my bed. I don’t handle him that frequent but he does play a lot with my feet and bites them while I’m gaming.
So I decided to read up more information about all these ringworm infection and while majority seems to say nothing to be worried about, there are some horror stories as well. Some post suggest quarantining the cat.
My question is is quarantine necessary? How cautious do I have to be with the cat? Am I sure to get infected now and what should I do? Also, I am browsing some antifungal creams or spray for my cat and if you have good experience with any certain brand, please share. I have to add this is my first cat and I have zero experience keeping them.
