How to treat ringworm in a cat with folded ears? If a cat with folded ears suffers from ringworm, first of all, please don’t give up on your folded-eared cat because of this. Think about the happiness you once got because of it, and then treat it~

Cat ringworm is more common in malnourished and frail cats. Increasing the intake of nutrients, especially B vitamins, is beneficial to the prevention of the disease and the recovery of infected cats. There are two types of fungi that infect cats with folded ears, namely Microsporum canis and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. 98% of them are Microsporum canis. As the disease progresses, it becomes an irritating dry round macule (ringworm).

Generally, griseofulvin can be given to cats with folded ears. The dosage is 50 mg per kilogram of body weight, 2-3 times a day, for at least 3 or 4 weeks. Other external applications of clotrimazole ointment, compound benzoic acid ointment, sulfur ointment, 2% miconazole nitrate hydrophilic ointment and tinea purifier can be applied to the affected area. During the treatment period, add 4 ml of vegetable oil to the cat's food every day to promote the absorption of oral drugs. Topical corticosteroid treatment can also be used.

Because cat ringworm can be transmitted to humans, please pay attention to disinfection. Owners of folded-eared cats should take oral multivitamins for prevention. Note: Do not use daxonine cream on cats with folded ears. The effect will be very bad and it will easily expand.
