How to treat cat skin disease in the early stage

If it is the early stage of cat skin disease and the degree is not severe, generally，you can treat the cat with drugs containing terbinafine. At the same time, you can give the cat oral health supplements containing vitamins B, lecithin, etc., to ensure rapid repair of the cat's skin barrier and promote hair growth. If it reaches the later stage of the disease, it is necessary to cooperate with drugs containing ivermectin for bath treatment.

Fungal infections cause a type of skin disease in cats, which is stubborn and highly contagious. Therefore, once a cat is found to have cat skin disease, it is necessary to take appropriate measures to help it deal with and control the disease. Generally, it is recommended that pet owners follow the steps below for treatment.

Shave the hair

When a cat is infected with cat skin disease, the first thing the owner needs to do is shave the hair in the affected area, expose the cat skin disease, destroy the fungal growth environment, and prevent further spread of the cat skin disease.

Bath treatment

After shaving the cat's hair, the next step is to give the cat a bath with antifungal shampoo. It is recommended to do this once a week, focusing on cleaning the affected area.

Use drugs to treat cat skin disease

Finally, the cat needs to be given oral drugs to treat cat skin disease, spray external treatments, and persist in cooperating with bath treatments for five cycles. It is also recommended that the owner feed the cat health supplements containing vitamins B, lecithin, etc., which will help the cat's skin barrier repair quickly and promote hair growth.

During the treatment, it is best to put a Elizabethan collar on the cat to prevent it from scratching or licking itself. Trim the cat's nails evenly to avoid injury. It is also necessary to disinfect the cat's living environment thoroughly, and sterilize it once a week. The cat's bedding also needs to be taken out to sun to kill bacteria and viruses. After taking care of the cat, wash your hands and disinfect them.

Note: The treatment of skin diseases requires a relatively long time and needs the owner's patience. The cat needs to take medication on time to prevent repeated fungal infections. In addition, it is generally recommended to give the cat an internal deworming every three months and an external deworming every month. External deworming can significantly reduce the risk of cat skin disease infection. If there are elderly people and children at home, it is recommended not to let them contact the cat, as cat skin disease is a fungal infection that can be transmitted to humans. Elderly people and children have weaker skin immunity and are more susceptible to infection, so they should not be allowed to contact the cat.
