Feline ringworm is a common skin disease in cats caused by fungi. Its onset type is similar to human athlete’s foot, and the bacteria are stubborn and difficult to treat. Cat moss is more common in malnourished and sickly cats, as well as cats living in hot and humid environments.

What is feline tinea? Is it contagious?

Cat ringworm is a kind of cat skin disease, which is more common on the face, ears, chin, front legs, tail, etc.

When sick, round or oval ringworm spots will appear, covered with gray scurf, the coat color will become rough, and the coat of the ringworm spot will be broken or fallen off in bunches.

It should be noted that

Cat ringworm is not only contagious between cats, but also contagious to humans!

Cats suffer from feline fungus. If the owner does not pay attention to the disinfection of the home environment, and the owner's resistance happens to be relatively weak, the cat is likely to be infected.

After a person is infected, the clinical manifestations are multiple round or oval maculopapular rashes covered with scales on the skin.

Cat ringworm is a fungal infection. If you scratch the affected area with your fingers and then scratch other parts of the body, the fungus may spread everywhere and multiply rapidly. In severe cases, the whole body may become ill.

Therefore, if the cat at home has already suffered from catnip, you should take the cat to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid the spread of catnip. Owners should pay attention to the environmental hygiene at home, disinfect frequently, and improve their own resistance.

If you have multiple pets at home, they need to be isolated from other healthy pets to avoid infecting each other.

How to prevent cat lice on a daily basis?

1. Regularly check the cat’s hair

Because it is covered with hair, cats infected with ringworm are difficult to detect in the early stages. Owners need to regularly remove the cat's hair (especially long-haired cats) and carefully observe whether the cat has dander, hair loss, skin redness and swelling, etc., so that problems can be discovered early.

2. Pay attention to environmental hygiene and keep it dry

In a humid and dirty environment, cats are susceptible to tinea felis, so it is important to ensure that the cat’s living environment is dry and hygienic.

Tips to ensure dryness:

Cats’ daily necessities, such as cat nests, blankets, toys, etc., are often taken out to bask in the sun.

After your cat takes a bath or gets wet in the rain, remember to dry its hair, especially the hair on the soles of its feet, which is easily overlooked.

Use a dehumidifier during the rainy season to reduce moisture in the air.

3. Spend more time in the sun to improve resistance

Sunbathing has many benefits. It can enhance resistance, and the ultraviolet rays in the sun can also kill some fungi. But remember not to choose noon to prevent sunburn. It is recommended to go around 10 a.m. or 3 or 4 p.m.

Most cat lovers will choose to let their cats bask in the sun on their balconies. It should be noted that cats like to jump up and down, so the windows must be closed to prevent the tragedy of cats falling from the building.

4. Supplement B vitamins

B vitamins can promote metabolism in the body and improve resistance. If it is lacking, cell function will decline, causing metabolic disorders and reduced resistance, which is not conducive to disease recovery.

5. Feed lecithin to protect the skin

The skin is the primary foundation for healthy hair metabolism, so it is necessary to provide the skin with adequate nutritional supplements. Madder's IN-Kat Lecithin can enhance skin resistance, protect cell membranes, make the cat's skin healthier, and thereby reduce the chance of catnip.

If the cat has already suffered from feline tinea, feeding Madder's IN-Kat lecithin while cooperating with hospital treatment can also help the cat speed up its recovery.
