Strange bald spot

[Tabbysiameselov]

My boyfriend and I took in a very tiny little Siamese kitten a few days ago. We took the kitten to the vet and we found out he is about 6 weeks old. For being born a ferrel cat he only had fleas and ear mites (and possibly worms but he was given a dewormer). However, there was a spot found on the baby cat near the top of his left back leg. We don't know what it is and the vet wasn't 100% sure either. Help?

Did the vet suggest any tests to try to diagnose it? Ringworm is a common condition in cats with compromised immune systems, and because it can be contagious, I would want to get to the bottom of that strange patch as soon as possible. http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/ringworm.aspx

In the meantime, a good diet is the best way to a healthy kitten so depending on what you're feeding him now, you may want to switch to the highest quality meat-based wet food (canned or raw) that you can afford. www.catinfo.org

Good luck! Would love to see some pics of the rest of your sweetie.

The vet said it could be ringworm, but then he said it doesn't look like a typical ringworm case. He gave us an antifungal cream to give him for a few weeks and we have to keep him quarantined We're living on a budget and fixing to move so the vet said because the test takes so long to get back to just treat him for it and be safe. Thank you!
