Treatment methods for cat pyoderma:

1. If the cat has local pus scab, 0.2% nitrofuracil ointment or gentian violet antipruritic paste can be used.

2. If there are pustules or erosions locally, you can add an appropriate amount of antibiotics to zinc oxide oil.

3. If it is deep pustulitis, first use 10% boric acid ointment to soften the scab, and then use medicine to promote ulcer healing, such as Ganshi Chuangyu Powder, Ulcer Powder, etc.

Symptoms of cat pyoderma:

1. The common clinical signs are papules or pustules that form on the skin. These lesions look similar to those of humans. Papules, usually red and raised, have a white pus center.

2. There are also symptoms such as round crusts, dry, flaky skin, hair loss and itching.

3. In short-haired dog breeds, the hair may stick out in areas where it is stuck together, or there may be signs of moth infestation due to patchy shedding.
