after the vet trip this morning which cost £120 I want to invest in a UVA light that detects ringworm and fungal issues. Next time I want to pick it up even earlier.

Does anyone know of any good ones on the market? The ones that I have found detect cat and dog urine stains.
 
I have a little torch but not had to use it in years. Normal fungal that isn't Ringworm would not show up under UV light though.
 
UVA light is not necessarily conclusive in diagnosing ringworm. Never just rely on it. Most good vets don't use it anyore for diagnosing ringworm.
