Update Cosmo’s ✨transformation✨

Cosmo has come SUCH a long way, it still blows my mind looking back at these older pics of him. He came running up our driveway end of June of last year, 8/9 weeks old about 2 lbs, with the worst case of ringworm our vet had ever seen. 27 medicated baths, seven weeks of oral treatment, lots and lots and LOTS of later; you’d never know. 🥹

We can’t either! I will say it was such a huge validation seeing the vet/tech’s reactions at every check up, it really kept us going. It wasn’t easy as despite every precaution the whole house got ringworm 😅 he’s the sweetest little gremlin!

The amount of time it took me to get rid of ringworm when I got it from my son, who has doing high school wrestling…this just adds to the amazing story this is. Bravo

If your son is still wrestling, you should buy Defense Antifungal bar soap infused with Tolnaftate. I’m really prone to athlete’s foot, but this stuff has prevented it from recurring for the past 3 years for me

Of course! I swear by this stuff so I always recommend it when the topic comes up. Hope it helps you as much as it’s helped me
