Can you give Lamisil to a kitten with ringworm?
Depending on how bad the ringworm is, there are several anti-fungal medications that can be taken orally also. My vet says to use Lamisil, too. It worked when June was a kitten and she had a small ringworm spot. If they have the ringworm over a larger area, I don’t think the Lamisil will be enough.
What should I do if my cat has ringworm?

Why do kittens get ringworm more often than other cats?
Cats don’t just get the disease more frequently than do other animals, they also shed LARGE numbers of fungal spores when they are infected. So while the ringworm fungus can be found virtually everywhere in our environments, contact with an infected kitten or cat is often responsible for overwhelming a person or pet’s natural defenses.
How often should I give my Cat Lamisil?
