Question
lucky has two spots under both eyes that looks like it is some kind of rash or ringworms. what can i use to treat it?

Answer
Hi Jesse,
Go to a pharmacy and buy some anti-fungal cream.  You can rub this in every day for a week or so , but be careful not to get into the eyes.  
Lucky may have mange though.  If so, you can buy a dip at any pet shop or feed store.  If it is sarcoptic mange, then the dip should do the trick, just read the directions and follow them. IF it is demodeptic mange, you will need to take Lucky to the Vet for treatment.
You could try the dip for sarcoptic mange first and if this does not work, then a trip to the vet may be in order.  

God Bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
