  1. Ringworm?

  2. Of course, ringworm is a #1 ruleout, BUT due to the placement of the “glow”, the better guess would be due to medications being used in the cat’s eyes. A good look at the rest of her would give us the best answer – and then a DTM if we were still thinking ringworm.

  4. DinaT (Shelter R&D Team) Says:

    I’m going to agree with Jennifer cause I caught Dr. Newbury’s awesome webinar…but I still don’t want to miss the opportunity to add: “…or is there a fungus among us??” ;-)

  5. is it wingworm or ringworm?
    (question asked of us at a recent adoption event)

  6. ringworm, or bacteria (like pseudomonas), or the medication being used…could be several things…

    We’re delighted to report that you guys impressed Dr. Sandra Newbury! She says,

    “We here at UC Davis are GLOWING with pride seeing all your ringworm knowledge. Using a Wood’s lamp to help find glowing ringworm lesions on intake can help you find ringworm infections quickly and easily, which keeps ‘the worm’ (really the fungus) from sneaking in among us.” — Sandra Newbury, DVM, National Shelter Medicine Extension Veterinarian at the Koret Shelter Medicine Program, UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

    Dr. Newbury will be presenting two free ringworm webinars next Tuesday and Wednesday:

    - Session Three: Beating Ringworm: Yes, You Can!
    - Let’s Talk Fungus!
