Can I use lime sulfur dip & antifungal meds on 6-week-old kittens?

Can I use lime sulfer dip in conjunction with an antifungal shampoo and cream for my 6 week old kittens infested with ringworm? I'd like to alternate between the treatments because there's so much conflict of which works best.

Generally speaking yes you can do it but that would depend on the severity of the ringworm infection (a picture of the lesions would help to better assess its severity). In some cases only the ointment is effective and enough to sort out the infection. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
