Today: Sam gets a patch on his neck.

Its got to be ring worm, it wouldn't have taken the spot on that long to cause a problem.

I'm surprised the vets didn't notice it :/ but his furs quite thick.

p.s sorry I keep getting ring and round worm mixed up, yano what I mean.
Ok I am sorry but I have to do this as you seem to have overlooked all the other people saying this:

Ringworm doesn't look like that.

Roundworm is internal and not external.

I really don't think it is either of those, think you need to get a vet's advise.

Re: Worms affecting kitten skin

It really doesn't look like ringworm, it looks like some sort of allergic reaction to me. One of my cats gets sores like this under her neck, I think it's a food allergy but I haven't been able to identify the cause.

Anyway your best bet is to see a vet.

Re: Worms affecting kitten skin

I bought a spot on wormer yesterday for Sam/Dee on vets recommendation because we need to do both asap to make sure that Sam's spat of sickness wasn't anything more sinister than teething/ripping his tooth out. Now a bit cautious about a reaction... :S
