How to treat cat skin rash
Cat skin rash treatment mainly focuses on eliminating the cause of the disease, stopping self-injury, and relieving itching. Commonly used drugs include cortisone, Banfskin, wolf poison xanax, and Balikin. When treating cat skin rash, if the rash on the cat's skin is just red spots and papules, you can apply the above-mentioned creams directly. If the cat's skin rash is ulcerated, you need to deal with the skin wounds first and then apply the medicine. In addition, owners should also pay attention to the cat's balanced diet. They can feed the cat some complex vitamins to supplement the necessary vitamins and trace elements in the cat's body and enhance the cat's physical resistance.
- Eliminate the cause of the disease:
The common causes of cat skin rash include damp living environment, strong sunlight exposure, external stimulation, mosquito bites, and nutritional imbalance. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose the cause first and then treat it accordingly.
This includes treating the existing diseases, helping the cat eliminate external parasites, and avoiding symptoms of rash and itching caused by bites from external parasites such as fleas and lice. Additionally, pay attention to removing foreign objects from the cat's skin surface, improving breeding management conditions, maintaining environmental hygiene, and adjusting the nutritional ratio in the feed.
- Stop self-injury:
After a cat gets a skin rash, it tends to lick and bite the affected area, causing large areas of papules and exacerbating the symptoms. Therefore, during treatment, the cat should wear an Elizabeth collar to prevent it from scratching and licking the affected area.
- Relief of itching:
If the cat's itching is severe, it is recommended to feed the cat drugs containing chlorphenamine maleate, which can effectively block the cat's itching symptoms in as little as 15 minutes.
Note: During treatment, medication must be continued to avoid repeated episodes. If the owner is busy and cannot persist in applying medicine to the cat, it is recommended to send the cat to a pet hospital for treatment.
