Update on our Ringworm Kitten. I know we'll get through it but it is SO hard.
I just need to vent and I'm pretty sure my family and close friend is over hearing it. I kind of had a mental breakdown last week. I'm talking crying all day everyday for 5 days straight. It has been exhausting. Every time I thought about how I had the chance to say "No", had an opportunity to rescue a different kitten. My kids missed out on birthday sleepovers (because RW is in all of our scalps and probably still through the house even though kitten is in Iso now and I'm cleaning high touch areas and bedding daily). I feel so guilty for bringing this upon us, and then guilt for feeling regret because it's not the kittens fault.
I have already been given amazing support and practical tips I've been using to help with the burden of cleaning, plus a couple of good links to websites with info on RW But everything is aimed at spots on the cats and on people's body. I feel so alone and helpless that it is in our hair and the treatment is so much harder. I'm starting my 6th week of oral meds and my head is still itchy with new spots so I think I need a different medication (which feels like I've wasted so much time on the one I'm on).
Anyway after a week of no tears, I've been getting emotional and crying again today after my heads been itching all morning. And one of my kids head is still red after 3 weeks of oral meds. It just sucks. I've never been so miserable in my life and I've been through some crap.
Pictures for the cat tax. His RW on head is doing so much better, there are new spots at the base and tips of his ears but you can't see on the pics
