How to Treat Cat Skin Diseases
Persian Cat
The skin surface affected by fungal skin disease will show clearly defined circular patches of hair loss, accompanied by a large amount of dandruff. The affected areas have broken and falling hair, with mild itching, often occurring on the face, ears, paws, and torso of dogs and cats. Once infected, it can easily cause zoonotic transmission, so it is recommended that both the owner and the cat receive treatment simultaneously to ensure no cross-infection occurs again.
Treatment methods:
First, shave the hair at the affected area, then apply antifungal ointment. In severe cases, medicated baths are also required. At the same time, oral medication such as ketoconazole tablets or griseofulvin tablets can be given. During medication, it is best to supplement with vitamins and feed more fatty foods, avoiding alkaline foods such as milk.
Cat fungal skin disease should not cause too much worry. Fungal skin diseases are actually easy to treat but require a relatively long time. Owners must persist with medication and not have a careless attitude to avoid delaying treatment and worsening the condition. Usually, it can be controlled within one or two weeks and cured within three to four weeks. (Source:PetsZone)
