How to Treat Cat Ringworm? Three Aspects to Pay Attention To
Any skin disease with "ringworm" in its name tends to give people the impression of being difficult to cure, and cat ringworm is no exception. Therefore, many cat owners feel especially troubled once they confirm their cat has ringworm and don't know what to do. In fact, although cat ringworm is a relatively complex disease to treat, as long as the method is correct, cat ringworm is also easy to "deal with." Below, the editor will give a detailed introduction to the methods of treating cat ringworm, hoping to help confused cat owners!
1. Use medication treatment. Cat ringworm is a common disease, so there are many medications available for treatment. We can choose oral medicine or topical medicine based on our cat’s condition. If the cat is less than three months old, to prevent damage from oral medication, it is best to use topical medicine. If it is an adult cat with ringworm, oral medication can be used.
2. Actively strengthen the cat’s nutrition. One reason cats suffer from ringworm is nutritional deficiency. Therefore, in addition to medication therapy, we should also actively improve the cat’s nutrition to enhance its physical resistance and speed up the healing of ringworm. But it is important not to give cats food that is too salty!
3. Take the cat to get some sunlight. The sun is the most natural sterilizer. Therefore, when treating cat ringworm, we should take the cat out to enjoy some sunshine. Of course, pay attention to the light exposure; do not let the cat be exposed continuously just to kill bacteria quickly, as this not only will not help the treatment but may worsen the condition.
Although cat ringworm is a highly contagious disease, it generally does not infect humans. So there is no need to completely isolate the cat just because it has ringworm. On the contrary, we should actively treat the ringworm while giving more care and love to the cat. Only in this way can the cat recover quickly!
