A few days ago, I suddenly discovered that my kitten had cat ringworm. I was helpless because I had never encountered this kind of situation after raising cats for so long. But after checking a series of information, I found that cat ringworm is really very common!

 

Feline ringworm (xuǎn) is a common disease in cats. There are two types of fungi that infect cats, namely Microsporum canis and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. 98% of them are Microsporum canis. As the disease evolves, it becomes Irritating, dry, round macules. Cat ringworm is spread through spores, but cats cannot live in a vacuum environment, so what should we do? We can disinfect the baby's environment and let our baby bask in the sun, which will help prevent and cure cat ringworm.

In fact, many cats are born with ringworm spores. When the body is very healthy, the cat will not get the disease. However, once the cat’s body resistance decreases, it is easy to get the disease. Therefore, if the domestic cat grows up from an early age He has never gone out, and there are no other little ones at home. There is a high chance that his cat will never get sick in his life. But now that we have the disease, we must work hard to treat it, and cat ringworm can be transmitted to cats, so everyone must pay more attention.

Next I will summarize some treatment methods. Of course, as a girl who raises cats in a slum, I use the most economical and affordable method (I personally tested it to be effective)

Jieeryin + sulfur soap + vitamin B complex + sunbathing!!!

Jieyin is the Jieyin on TV. It is available in pharmacies. This medicine is not only healthier for washing, but also has a good inhibitory effect on fungi. Another advantage is that you don’t have to worry about cats licking it. My cat licked half the cup while I wasn't paying attention, and then, for whatever reason, she was still healthy and active.

Usage: For large areas of cat ringworm, add Jieryin and water 1:1 to give the cat a medicated bath. Soak in the bath for ten minutes, then rinse with clean water. For small areas of cat ringworm, add Jieryin and water 1:1 and apply it to the affected area with a medical cotton swab.

The sulfur soap is the Shanghai sulfur soap, which is available in pharmacies. You can use sulfur soap to thoroughly clean the cat’s litter box and the textiles that the cat comes into contact with.

Just go to the drug store to buy the most common form of vitamin B complex. Crush it and add it to the cat’s drinking water. The owner can eat it together to prevent infection.

The sun is just the sun, just the sun on our heads. Allowing cats to get more sun exposure will help treat cat ringworm.

Calculating this way, you can add Jieeryin (10 yuan+), sulfur soap (1 yuan), and vitamin B complex (5-6 yuan) together (20 yuan). Basically, the cat will be fine in 2 weeks. After recovery, it is worth noting that cat ringworm is easy to relapse, so after treatment, we must pay attention to letting the cat bask in the sun more, and do not bathe too frequently. The cuticle of cats is much thinner than that of humans, and there are no sweat glands, which causes Cat’s skin is better than human skinA lot more vulnerable. Taking too many baths can easily damage the cuticle of your cat's skin, thus weakening its resistance.
