Ringworm is one of the skin disorders that the cat can have. This infection is due to fungus. When there is ringworm, the cat keeps on scratching the body due to lesions formed in the skin.

Some signs of ringworm infection are hair loss, inflammation in the skin, crusty skin surface, or dandruff. When the cat has a ringworm infection, she needs to be treated with antifungal medications.

The ringworm infection can be transferred to other cats and humans. One way to prevent infection with others is best to decontaminate the cat's environment and accessories. The accessories include bedding, toys, and water and food containers.

Keep the infected cat isolated while you decontaminate. Don't forget to vacuum the floor, draperies, and carpets to remove the cat's loose hairs. Make sure to wash the fabrics and bedding two times to remove any infected hair. It is also advisable to use a chemical formula to wipe on surfaces where the cat stays. Scrub the vehicle, windowsill, floor, and countertops thoroughly.

Any sign of illness exhibited by your pet should require an appointment with your veterinary hospital Marietta, GA.
