Do I need new gloves for each ringworm cat in the same enclosure?

Question

When caring for 3 kitties with ringworm in 1 cage, would you change out your gloves between the kitties?

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

There is nothing wrong with doing that but I feel it is a waste of your gloves. The kittens are all together in the same cage touching each other anyway. So, by you touching one kitten and then touching another with the same gloves it is the same as them touching each other. If they were in separate cages I would say yes, change the gloves. I hope this makes sense. Best wishes!
