I purchased 2 Savannah cats born March 29th. They came home to me Oct. 7th as they were sick as kittens. Oct. 10th my vet came to my home to ensure they were healthy, and found ringworms in the males ears via Woodslamp. They have been going to the vet now twice a week for antifungal baths not lime baths as Dr. wanted to be conservative till culture came back. Low and behold yesterday the 4 week culture is positive for the girl, but negative for the brother. Dr. said wants to continue growing culture for another week. Both of them have had diarrhea, now soft poop for a month and no improvement. We R trying on top of meds a GI diet. Dr. says to cut down cleaning routine as may be irritatant. So now I have an infectious disease that only bleach kills, and I am not suppose to use it but once a week. I have a bad immune system, but so far I have not got ringworms. We R isolated to one room. I have two other cats, but have done best to keep seperated. The female (not mentioning names for sake of breeder) escaped the room like four times, but didn't get far. I am so discouraged and very unhappy about this experience. I was unable to return them as no Dr. in the right mind would give me a healthy certificate to fly them back to the breeder. I feel so bad for these poor little babies as by now they should be running around the house and having a normal kitten life instead of back and forth to the vet twice a week. Anyone have any suggestions? They R so cute and sweet. I feel so bad they have to go through this.
