My cat has ringworm. How do I use sulfur dip and bathe both?

Question

Hello sir/ma'am, I have ordered the sulfur dip for my kitty who has a ringworm.. I have the instructions on the bottle bit o feel that I cant understand them so can you explain yo me how to wash him?? And I have another cat but she doesnt have symptoms fo I need to bathe her with that too? Kitty had the rhinitis virus and he is very sensitive so his emotions control his immune system and he gets sick a lot poor baby.. I found the 2nd picture online for his immune system so do you think it helps? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 3 years and 11 months old

Hello. You can try the immune support. I do not think it will help all that much, but it should not hurt. The best thing to do to keep a kitties immune system in great shape is to keep indoors, booster all appropriate vaccination, regularly apply of treat with a good flea & tick product, feed the best food you can afford , & deworm if necessary. As for the dip, mix 4 ounces, or 1/4 of a 16 ounce bottle, in 1 gallon of warm water. Bathe both of your kitties in any shampoo & rinse off soap. While each cat is still wet from rinsing , apply the diluted dip. Once you are done, you can wrap each cat in a towel, but do not let them lick themselves until completely dry so you may need to place an Elizabethan cone ( cone of shame ) on them. Repeat about once a week as necessary to cure the fungal infection. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
