Subject: Ringworm?

I have written previously about Pepper and her weird skin
condition which was diagnosed by a ferret-knowledgeable vet as
ringworm.(Fluorescence under a UV lamp} Pepper was put on
50mg/K Program once per fortnight. Because she weighs 700g,
her dose is 35mg. She has had 2 doses and is now due for her
third. Her owner brought her to me because there is no
improvement. The lesion has spread over the midline of her
abdomen and further down her leg since treatment started, and
has two or three dry scaly patches in it too. Her owner is
taking her back to the vet on Tuesday, but would like to be
reassured that the vet is on the right track and would like to
see the dosage raised. Pepper is on Prednisolone bd for
insulinoma. I am attaching a couple of pics I took today. I
would be very grateful for any advice or ideas that I can pass
on to the vet and Pepper's owner.
Love & Dooks
Shirley
