How to tell if your cat has cat moss

In terms of clinical symptoms, cats with cat moss will have crusty skin, localised hair loss, general itching or localised itching. This needs to be examined in hospital and the diagnosis needs to be confirmed by looking for fungal elements under a microscope. If the owner suspects that the cat has cat moss, it is best to take the cat to the hospital promptly for examination, as ringworm is a contagious disease of the skin.
