What to do if your cat has ringworm

When a cat is diagnosed with ringworm infection, the main treatment options include the following: Firstly, the cat should be isolated to avoid contact with other cats in the home, which can lead to mutual transmission, and the cat’s owner should minimise contact with her, except when she is being fed. Secondly, the area where the cat has ringworm needs to be pushed away with a razor. Firstly, to avoid transmission from the lesion to the healthy area, and secondly, to facilitate the application of medication. Thirdly, use appropriate antifungal medication, including oral medication, terbinafine hydrochloride spray or ointment, and you can also take lecithin or fish oil to increase skin nutrition and promote hair growth. Fourthly, the home, cage and sofa must be washed frequently and can be exposed to the sun and sterilised.
