Fungal infection on cat's paws
Treatment of fungal infection on cat's paws: You can use anti-fungal spray. First, shave off the hair on the cat's paws, then spray the spray twice a day. Be sure to wear a headband to prevent the cat from licking the medicine on its paws, causing poisoning. Pay attention to the fact that the fungal infection on the cat's paws should not spread to the whole body. Keep the environment clean and hygienic, so the fungal infection on the cat's paws will not be so easy to recur.
Causes of fungal infection recurrence: If the environment has not been disinfected previously, it can lead to the long-term existence of fungal spores in the environment. When the cat is stressed, in heat, uses steroid drugs, or has other factors that decrease its immunity, it can be re-infected and recur. Therefore, in addition to using drugs, the environment should also be disinfected. Moreover, a damp environment can be a trigger for cats to get fungal infections.
Symptoms of fungal infection: Fungal infection refers to a skin disease in cats, mostly occurring on the face, trunk, limbs, and tail of the cat. After a cat gets a fungal infection, its hair becomes rough, and round or oval patches of skin appear. The cat will feel extremely itchy, so it will rub against various surfaces, causing the hair to fall out in patches, forming bald spots. It is recommended to go to the hospital directly when this situation occurs.
How to treat fungal infection on cat's paws: Fungal infections are mainly caused by fungi. To treat fungal infections on the feet: First, use topical ointments (such as ketoconazole and terbinafine). Second, enhance skin immunity, such as VetriScience Laboratories' Allerpet Drops. Spend more time in the sun. Third, cooperate with medication baths. Fourth, wear a suitable Elizabethan collar. If there is no systemic skin infection with fungi, oral fungal drugs are generally not needed.
