CATDOLL : How to give a cat with ringworm a medicated bath?

Medicinal bath method for cat ringworm:

1. Use a slightly smaller plastic bucket that is big enough for the cat to squat in.

2. The water should be moderate, just below the cat's neck. The cat can fully soak its skin in the bucket, and the water in the bucket is not easy to spill out.

3. Don’t bathe cats too often. Be as gentle as possible, don’t scare or irritate them, comfort them more and let them feel at ease while bathing.

4. After washing, use more clean toilet paper to absorb the water on the cat's body. The advantage of this is to prevent cross infection. The toilet paper can be thrown away after use and there is no need for disinfection.

5. Use at least two plastic buckets, one for washing and one for rinsing. Rinse at least twice to make it clean. Note: The plastic bucket must be disinfected with 84 solution after each use. Note that it must be rinsed with clean water after 84 disinfection. When taking a bath, wash the ones with mild symptoms first, then the ones with severe symptoms.

Treatment of mild cat ringworm:

1. Isolate the cat and clean the house

Ringworm can be transmitted to humans. If a cat is found to have ringworm, the cat owner should first find a ventilated and dry place to isolate the cat and prevent humans and other cats from contacting it. Ringworm is generally caused by an unclean environment, so the cat owner should clean the indoor environment, collect the cat's supplies, and disinfect them one by one with diluted disinfectant. When the weather is good and the sun is out, the cat's supplies can be exposed to the sun. In addition to this general cleaning, the indoor environment should still be cleaned regularly in the future. Frequent cleaning can reduce the production of fungi.

2. Local shaving, use spray

After cleaning, the cat owner finds the place where the cat has ringworm, uses a shaving tool to shave off the hair near the ringworm, then applies some hydrogen peroxide to the place where the ringworm occurs, waits for the hydrogen peroxide to dry, sprays some Meow Qu Man, puts an Elizabethan collar on the cat to prevent it from licking the spray. In addition, sometimes the cat will feel itchy in the place where the ringworm occurs and wants to scratch its body with its claws. The cat owner should shorten the cat's nails appropriately, otherwise it will be troublesome if it scratches the skin.

3. Supplement nutrition and get some sun

Some weak kittens and old cats are more likely to get ringworm. If the food a cat eats is not nutritious, its body will become weak. It is recommended that cat owners feed cats more nutritious food, such as better cat food, freeze-dried cat food, appropriate amount of canned cat food, goat milk powder, etc. You can consider giving cats some fruit after meals. If the food a cat eats is nutritious and its body becomes stronger, the ringworm will get better as soon as possible. If the cat owner has time, he can also take the cat out to bask in the sun. The sunlight can also help the ringworm get better quickly.
