Re: Ring Worm
You may not be so bad with only having two cats, and you could get away with spraying your carpets etc. with a product such as Virkon.
Grisofulvin tablets and fungicidal shampoo are the standard way of getting rid of ringworm as it has to be fought from both the inside and outside of the cat. It is not always easily noticeably as when mine was found at the show it just looked like a bit of dandruff or as I at first thought, dried in talc from the cat's bath.
If your cats have been tested and it has been confirmed, I dont think you have any option but to treat as it will keep recurring and can also spread quite rapidly. I may shop around as £50 just for the shampoo does seem harsh, are you sure this did not include the testing. As I seem to remember the testing costing about 35 quid per cat. You can buy SporalD online for about £12.00 but the tablets do have to come from your vets. They can not be given to pregnant cats and they can be dangerous if the correct dosage is not given.
