cat baths - help!

[fifth_element]

Our newly adopted kitten has ringworm, so we are to bathe him once a week and apply a solution. Poor little guy. Does anyone have any good suggestions for making a cat bath not so horrible?? He wails and flails like I've never seen before in a cat. We try to make it as comfortable and non-intimidating as possible, but he's not buying it.

I'm glad the lil bucket worked. Don't forget a lil kitty treat after the bath too!

We tried the spray nozzle in the kitchen sink the first time. This second time, I took your advice and used a plastic bucket in the sink. Little Oliver succumbed to his warm bath fate and just sat there! We were amazed and oh so happy it went well.

And thank you, Savas, for the hint on medication. Unfortunately, we already spent the money ($$) at the vet so we're sticking with the solution. Will remember that for the future, but hopefully will never have to!

Hey, y'know, you could just pick up Athlete's Foot medication (cream) and apply it to the affected areas.
It's the exact same medication!!!! (Look on the label, it should say ringworm as one of the treatable conditions.  :)

get a little bucket or a baby bath in the kitchen sink and use the spray nozzle. Always get the water to a nice temperature by testing it on your arm (not too hot). Spray nozzles seem to work good. Good luck to you.
