Cat moss: Cat moss is an extremely common cat skin disease. It is mostly seen in malnourished and frail cats. It is infected by various fungi such as Microsporum canis and Trichomonas mentagrophytes. 98% of them are Microsporum canis. As the disease progresses, irritating, dry, round rashes called money spots will gradually form!

Early stage: Excessive dandruff appears in the affected area, and the cat will scratch the affected area frequently, which may even cause skin rupture.

Mid-stage: When cat moss gradually evolves to the mid-stage, we can see that it is extremely contagious and there is a lot of hair loss. The hair in the affected area can fall off with just a flick, and will fall off with scratching. Appear in different parts.

Late stage: Large-scale ringworm and circular macules appear on the cat. The fungus may induce ear mites and cause otitis media.

　

Main hazards:

1. Cat moss will affect the normal development of cats and lead to a decline in the physical fitness of kittens.

2. Feline tinea is a common disease between humans and cats and may be transmitted to family members who raise cats for the first time, especially the elderly and young children with weak constitutions.

3. Cat moss has a high probability of inducing inflammation such as otitis media, which will cause a great burden to the health of kittens.

Common explanations for milk moss: In fact, milk moss often appears on human infants. It is a type of eczema that occurs in young children. It mostly occurs on the face of infants and young children and can extend to other parts.

"Shengji Zonglu" states: Children with wind-heat, unfavorable spleen and lungs, or dampness fighting on the skin, stagnation of blood and Qi, and thick skin, will develop ringworm. They may be oblique or round, and gradually grow in size. They may become slightly less severe when it is cold, or may feel itchy and stuffy when warm. When scratched, yellow juice will come out, or on the face, the skin may become as dry as nails, which is called ringworm. The initial appearance of the rash is like corn, either scattered or densely clustered. The rash is red in color and white flakes appear when scratched. The shape is like ringworm. Those with no blisters and no water flowing are called dry sores, which are more likely to be caused by wind and heat. If the skin is wrinkled and itches excessively, and if it breaks, it will be watery and soaked into sheets, it is called a damp sore, which is more likely to be caused by damp heat.

　

But cat’s milk moss and human milk moss actually have the same cause, but they are not the same type!

Kitten milk moss is caused by fungi that breed in a moist and warm environment after birth and appear on the kitten's skin with poor resistance. Cat milk moss can also be caused by breast milk not being cleaned in time or feces on the body. .

Many people claim that cat's milk tinea is not cat's tinea, but a skin disease symptom that occurs in young cats due to low immunity. But the fact is...milk's tinea is cat's tinea!

In most cases, we can only call it pancreatitis, which is the name {slang} for a stage of pancreatitis in cats. However, there is no such term for cat skin diseases. We found common Chinese and foreign literature, and cats Moss【ringworm] is an extremely common skin disease, but there is no information or name for cat’s milk moss, only human milk moss.

So since milk moss is also cat moss, we know how to correctly avoid the harm caused by cat moss to people and cats?

　

A friend bought a Garfield cat online before. The seller told her that the cat was 100% normal and had no minor problems. But as soon as she got it back, she found that the cat’s chin still had its tail close to its butt. There are some slight dots, and it's a bit hard to the touch.

But when she found the seller, the seller deceived her and said it was milk moss, which would be cured as long as the environment was improved. The current outbreak was because the moisture in the environment was too heavy.

Because the girl is from a mountain town in Chongqing, there is indeed such a factor, so she did what the merchant said. She gave the cat a new bed, took vitamins, and used lime to absorb moisture at home, etc., but nothing happened. Think of it!

Just before May Day, three of the four people in the family had cat moss on their bodies! Including the scavenger herself, her brother (five years old), and her mother.

Moreover, she herself has very serious cat cysts, with several stripes from her hands to her neck, and even one stripe on the right side of her cheek near the base of her ear.

This made the little girl very devastated. After all, people rely on their reputation (live broadcast). This directly made the other party angry, but the merchant deleted the little girl later.

Anyway, this operation is really... very cool!

In fact, what Ximao felt angry about the merchant’s statement was not his teaching, because the treatment process of cat moss itself was like this, but he brought up the concept of milk moss to fool the little ones who didn’t know about cat skin diseases. Girl, and you haven’t told her about the impact of cat moss on people, this is a bit too much!

Treating cat moss is not that simple. It requires a cyclical process and is not just a matter of taking some medicine.

　

Let’s take a look at the general process: cat moss: Before the middle stage of cat moss, the scavenger can spray vinegar solution on the affected area (needs to be diluted), supplement vitamin B and nutrients, and give the cat more sun. After a week, Around this time, the cat will slowly recover as its body strengthens.

In the late stage of cat moss, in order to avoid spreading, the cat needs to trim the affected area and the cat hair around the affected area. At the same time, Elizabethan rings are needed as protection to prevent the cat from scratching and spreading the fungus. The affected area should be sprayed with chemicals or prepare a medicated bath.

Human cat moss: It is necessary to apply hormone-free antifungal drugs, supplement multivitamins, and strengthen physical fitness.

But it is very simple to talk about, but in actual operation, there will still be some problems according to the physiques of different people and cats, so Ximao will confirm with you some problems that are easily encountered in the treatment of cat moss.

1.The Elizabethan Circle is very important and must be maintained until the cat's hair grows on the affected area.

Cats actually hate Elizabethan collars, because this collar will cause great interference to the cat, and it will always hit the wall even when walking. However, compared with the advantages and disadvantages, the biggest advantage of the Elizabethan collar is that it can protect the cat. The affected area should not be scratched, which is a very important step in the treatment of cat skin diseases. Therefore, although cats particularly hate wearing Elizabethan rings, scavengers need to be careful not to refuse to wear them because of the cat’s resistance. Wait until the cat's affected area starts to grow hair before removing it.

2. Cats need to be careful when using medication. Unless the cat moss is extremely severe, injections and medicinal baths are not required.

Generally, there is no need for injections if cat moss has not reached the whole body. Especially when the cat is relatively young and the organs are not fully developed, injections will cause serious damage to the cat's liver.

For example, most medicated baths used for cat skin diseases are spicy baths, but the medicated bath itself is toxic. If the operation is unreasonable or the cat accidentally eats it, it will cause accidents to the cat. Some people used to do it themselves Use griseofulvin and other medicines for your cats at home, but these oral fungicidal medicines are extremely harmful to the liver and will affect your cats in the future. Therefore, if you don’t have large areas of cat moss all over your body, you don’t need to take oral medicines or use them easily. injection.

3. Milk moss is cat moss. It will not heal automatically and requires treatment.

Milk moss is cat moss, which is a stubborn skin disease caused by fungal infection. It is impossible to recover solely by the cat’s own resistance, even for kittens, especially young cats!

Kittens themselves have relatively poor physical fitness. If the cat owner cannot treat the cat reasonably and correctly, cat moss will affect the cat and the cat owner for a long time, and will also bring problems to the family. Trouble, the cat’s appearance is also affected.

　

So when someone says that your cat is just suffering from milk moss and that it can heal on its own with anything, then they avoid the fact that milk moss is cat moss, and they do not tell you the actual dangers of cat moss and its impact on people. Then most of these people are bad guys!

But don’t worry too much. Although skin diseases are very stubborn because they are fungal, as long as you treat them properly, you can basically recover within half a month to a month, and feline fungus is a common disease in cats. Common carrier fungi may appear once the cat's physical condition declines.

Therefore, the cat should be given proper exposure to the sun, and then supplement with more nutrients. Do not just eat cat food every day, so as to avoid and reduce the probability of the cat contracting skin diseases as much as possible!
