Ringworm is a fungal infection that can be contagious to humans. It's important to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment for your kittens. They can also advise on the best way to disinfect your home.
Here's what you should do:
1. Take your kittens to the vet immediately. They can diagnose ringworm and prescribe the appropriate antifungal medication.
2. Follow your vet's instructions carefully. This includes how to administer medication and how long to treat your kittens.
3. Clean and disinfect all surfaces that your kittens have come into contact with. This includes bedding, toys, food bowls, and any furniture they've been on. You can use a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) or a commercial disinfectant that is effective against fungi.
4. Wash all bedding and clothing that may have come into contact with the kittens in hot water and dry them on a high heat setting.
5. Vacuum all carpets and upholstery thoroughly.
6. Keep your home clean and tidy. This will help to prevent the spread of ringworm.
7. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling your kittens.
8. Avoid sharing personal items with your kittens, such as towels or brushes.
9. Keep your kittens isolated from other pets until they are completely cured.
Important: Never try to treat ringworm in your kittens without consulting a vet. Self-treating can be dangerous and may not be effective.
Remember, your vet is the best resource for information about ringworm and its treatment.
