TL;DR: Ex and his girlfriend adopted a kitten that was too young, didn’t take it to the vet, it got ringworm, and now my daughter has ringworm. I got a treatment plan from the dermatologist’s office, but instead of just following it, they’re nitpicking. AITA for being upset and firm about them taking this seriously? Here’s the situation: My ex and his girlfriend adopted a kitten at 9 weeks old (too young to be separated from its mom, but whatever) and expected it to live between two different households. Sometimes three- mine, his, and hers in LA (we’re in SD) They never took the kitten to a vet after adopting it. They leave the kitten for 10+ hours alone at a time (it’s only 10 weeks now - not full grown yet) The kitten ended up with ringworm, and I was the one who took it to the vet after they adopted her and had her for about a week. When I told them about the ringworm, they downplayed it and implied Petco’s vet wasn’t a “real” vet. )Meanwhile, they regularly take our daughter to urgent care instead of her pediatrician, which feels inconsistent and bizarre.) I had to put my foot down and say the kitten can’t come to my house. My whole house is allergic and I have a dog…. And the kitten has ringworm! I do feel bad, but this is getting crazy. Now, my daughter has ringworm. 😭 I called the dermatologist’s office and got a clear treatment plan, but not an official “diagnosis” Instead of just following the plan, they kept nitpicking about whether I technically spoke to the dermatologist or a nurse. So she calls the dermatologists office to confirm whether I talked with them, which I did, but not the doctor. She asked me for a photo of the ringworm and who I spoke to, and then when I didn’t send her one, she asked, “how can they diagnose without a photo?” And I responded: “No- it doesn't need a diagnosis because it's a common skin infection with a common treatment protocol. It's unnecessary to take a kid to a doctor for a common skin issue and risk spreading it to other patients in the office when the issue is not severe. Does that help you understand?” I’ll admit I was a bitch in my texts because I’m frustrated and worried about my daughter. To me, this feels like basic responsibility. The cat was too young, they didn’t take it to the vet, they’re terrible owners to it from my pov, and now my daughter is infected, but they’re nitpicking whether I talked to a doctor or nurse? AITA for being upset about this whole ordeal?
