Thats why I am looking into the Program, and at what dosage was safe but effective, as all my findings stated that a much higher dosage is needed than the recommended dosage for flea control.

Yeah, Lime Dips are the only other thing I know to be effective, I never bother with them, seems to be more trouble than it's worth for small break outs which is all I've ever dealt with.
Oddly enough, I have Lupus and am immunocompromised and surely you'd think I'd pick up ringworm like crazy... but nope, never get it
Even proved a point with Amira when she had it by taking her and rubbing her ringworm spots all over my skin
I would say, for the ferals... the program thing is gonna be useless and you are wasting your time and money
The only orally approved meds for ringworm are Itraconazole (Sporanox) or ... one or two other ones that slip my mind. Anywayysss the major problem with the orally given ringworm meds is they have HIGH risk of side effects! Bad side effects too! Dang, I wish I could remember the one medicine... there is one that has a lower risk of side effects but is VERY expensive. Like, worth it's weight in gold lol
If it were my ferals...... hmm.. I'd probably take my chances trying to apply some cream to them. But, I'd do it by putting the cream on maybe the end of a long paintbrush and brush it on to them through the bars of a safe crate? Does that seem feasible? (Well, technically if it were me I'd just do this the lazy way and get some anesthetics from one of my vet friends and knock the cats out lol)
