Traci or anyone, have you ever used this spray?

I hope your boss doesn't intend on using this as a sole therapy. It's only intended to be used in combination with a more effective therapy (i.e., miconazole shampoo or systemic therapy for severe cases). A miconazole shampoo would probably be more effective - the spray seems to contain a very small amount of active ingredients, yet, alot of alcohol (which could be harmful on open wounds/lesions)

Also, if a spray was used, it would have to be in a manner that allowed proper ventillation, and care not to spray around face/eyes, nor on open wounds, and to prevent the pet from licking the product (and seperating kittens/cats until fur is dry) and preventing inhalation of the product. Towelettes/pads (pledgets) of the product may be more useful and safer for the pet.

Lastly, if a spray and shampoo are used, it would be best to use the same brand so that there is not an excess (or lack of) effective action of the product.

we have used it on only 1 kitten so far, a 6 month old, and the skin/hair around the ringworm peeled away! It looks awful, but it's not a wound, it's just like BALD spot on his back. Very strange. I won't use it any more. We also have the shampoo and the wipes, I will stick to the wipes. We only have one ringworm cat in the whole shelter right now, I hope to keep it that way!
