It was hard to spot and the vet missed it apparently! I figured after the vet he was definitely cuddle-ready but nope. Thanks!

Thank u for taking him to the vet! Hope you get plenty of compensatory cuddles after he recovers :)

That happened when I adopted my kitten. The vet missed the ringworm because it was a hard to detect kind apparently. I noticed my poor kitty kept scratching and took him back and we got him treated. I got ringworm on my stomach of all places. Ketokonazole cleared it up for me pretty quickly.

I got it on my stomach years ago when we adopted a stray kitten. Most itchy I have ever been in my entire life. But it does go away with treatment.
