Cat tinea is a fungal skin disease, and the most effective treatment is a combination of oral and topical antifungal drugs. The owner first needs to take the cat to the hospital for a fungal examination to confirm the specific location of the cat moss and then treat it with medication. If the infection is localized, topical drugs containing terbinafine can be used. If the cat is infected with catnip all over the body, oral drugs containing ingredients such as itraconazole must be used in conjunction. During the treatment period, the cat should wear an Elizabethan collar to prevent licking.

1. Treatment methods for early stage cat moss

In the early stages of cat catitis, the symptoms are relatively mild and the catitis has not spread to a larger skin area. Generally speaking, it is relatively easy to treat. You can first remove the hair around the affected area, use a hot towel to soften the scales, scabs and other hot compresses and clean them, and then apply topical medicine containing terbinafine to the infected area.

2. Treatment methods for the late stage of cat moss

When cat moss develops to an advanced stage, systemic infection often occurs, along with a lot of hair loss. At this time, oral medications containing ingredients such as itraconazole must be used in conjunction. If necessary, the cat can also be given a medicated bath with antifungal medicinal shampoo.

3. Pay attention

The treatment cycle for cat moss is relatively long. Adult cats need to be treated for about three to four weeks to recover, while kittens may need about two months. Therefore, it is necessary to wear an Elizabethan ring on the cat to prevent cat moss from spreading all over the body after the cat licks it.

Before complete recovery, it is necessary to insist on giving the cat medicine to avoid repeated infections. You can also feed some B vitamins to help the cat's skin and hair recover.
