Hi,

How do you know for sure that your kitten has ringworm? Unless it was diagnosed by a vet, and confirmed by a culture, you really don't know. I cannot imagine a vet telling you to go out and treat with something OTC, so I assume this has been self diagnosed.

Most vets would prescribe an oral medication to treat ringworm in a kitten, along with something topical, if needed. You should never attempt to treat a cat with any human drugs on your own. Please stop using the OTC stuff. You may be putting your kitten's health or life in danger.

I recommend making an appointment to take your kitten in ASAP.
