Hello guys, I am here to ask what to do with a sick cat.
It appears to be a ringworm near the ear.

And I was also asking what's the chance of cross-infection;
With my bearded dragon and even tarantulas.?
How good are the medicines for a cat.?

And how do I treat my cat if anyone wants to help with that...
The cat isn't too happy...But if anyone could help I would appreciate it.

What are the chances I should send him out at age 6.?
My ex-buddy would throw out a lot of cats and since I've known him, I can think of about 3 or 4 cats they let go.
He wants to be indoors but I don't want my bearded dragon getting sick...

I feel it's his time and kids like me shouldn't own cats...
I have a fungal infection myself.

EDIT:
This is a Mycotic illness that I may not be able to cure.?
What are your guy's opinions on it spreading.?

Ringworm is contiguous but I don't know if a reptile could catch it. I would err on the side of caution though and wash up thoroughly everytime I handled the cat.

I have been washing up every time.
I've made some clear changes to my shampoo & the way I wash my clothes.

I need my PPE equipment but ultimately I read sometimes 7 mos. Average treatment.
We are going to ask Julia's Jungle and then get him out of here hopefully treated to a good home.

Because again, I have an infection and I don't want him re-infected with what I have.
The internet was very 'vague' about this fungal infection;
& I didn't know when I had gotten him that my family is somewhat 'allergic'.

I wonder how I'd let a vet personnel know he might not clear up with me...
There's no 'magic bullet' I take with some of these infections.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
