CATDOLL : What should I do if my cat has a skin disease?

Solutions to cats suffering from skin diseases:

1. When it is a bacterial infection, it is recommended to conduct drug sensitivity tests and bacterial culture, and select appropriate antibiotics for treatment.

2. When fungal infection occurs, fungal skin diseases are mainly treated with oral antifungal drugs and topical antifungal sprays.

3. When infected with parasites on the body surface, it is recommended to perform external deworming first.

Causes of skin diseases in cats:

1. The main consideration is that the cat’s skin immunity is low and the skin’s protective barrier function is insufficient, resulting in poor resistance to fungi, bacteria, etc. in the surrounding environment, leading to infection.

2. It may also be due to the cat's usual food causing allergies and severe lack of skin resistance leading to skin diseases.

3. If you don’t blow dry your cat after bathing it or if the home environment is damp, cold and dark, the bacteria on the cat’s skin will multiply in large numbers and cause disease.
