Part 1: How Does Feline Ringworm Originate?

For a cat to contract ringworm, two key factors must be present: the presence of Microsporum canis, a type of fungus, in the cat's living environment, and the cat's weakened immune system. If there is a sufficient amount of this fungus in the environment and the cat's immunity is low, it becomes highly susceptible to ringworm infection.

Part 2: Treating Feline Ringworm

The treatment for feline ringworm involves two main approaches: environmental disinfection and treating the cat's skin. Environmental disinfection is crucial to eliminate the presence of Microsporum canis, ensuring the cat does not continue to live in an infected environment. If the fungus remains, even after the cat's ringworm has been treated, there's a high risk of recurrence. The second approach is to treat the cat's skin, which typically includes oral antifungal medications and topical antifungal treatments. Both are essential for a successful and lasting cure.

1. Environmental Disinfection

Microsporum canis is particularly difficult to eradicate. Standard disinfectants and bleach may not be effective, and high concentrations can harm the cat. We recommend using 84消毒液 (a powerful disinfectant), which can effectively eliminate the fungus. Additionally, the fungus often hides in a cat's fur, so it's essential for pet owners to keep the cat's fur and living area clean. It's often best to discard items like cat beds and carpets where the fungus can thrive.

2. Medication Treatment

Topical treatments usually consist of antifungal skin ointments, and in severe cases, a bath with a sulfur and lime mixture may be recommended. For oral treatment, Itraconazole is often suggested, but it should not be given to cats with kidney disease or pregnant cats.
