Freckles in cat's fur
First, determine the cause of the freckles, whether it's due to fleas on the body, allergies, or eczema. The owner can take the cat to the veterinary hospital for a specific examination to identify the cause and then treat it accordingly. During the treatment, the owner can give the cat some health supplements that promote skin recovery, such as Baofukang.
Red raised spots on cat's body
The causes are: bacterial infection, which usually causes red spots that can gradually turn into pus-filled abscesses without intervention; fungal infection, which usually accompanied by itching, skin scales on the red rash, and without bacterial infection, the redness and swelling will not turn into pus; allergic rash caused by contact with allergens.
Lump on cat's back
The reasons for a lump on the cat's back are: tumor, which usually occurs in older animals, and most skin tumors are benign; skin diseases such as eczema, fungal infections, or flea bites, which usually cause symptoms like itching and severe hair loss; trauma, where scabs or inflammatory growths can appear during the recovery process; and finally, matted fur.
What to do if your cat has a skin disease
Local treatment. Use medications like Oxytetracyn and Ketoconazole for fungal infections. For long-haired cats, it is recommended to shave the fur around the affected area, while for short-haired cats, the fur within a diameter of 6 centimeters around the lesion should be shaved. Systemic treatment. If there is no significant improvement after 2-4 weeks of local treatment, it is recommended to use Griseofulvin for treatment. However, Griseofulvin may be toxic to cats, so it should not be fed to pregnant cats.
