Feline ringworm and cat ear mites are the most common problems for cats, as well as the most headaches for owners, especially ringworm in cats. Owners are so distressed, why is it so difficult to treat cat ringworm?
The skin disease of ringworm in cats is really stubborn and not very well treated. There are probably two main reasons. The first is that we do not treat ringworm in cats thoroughly and periodically. The second is to pay attention to treatment. Ignoring skin repair, these two reasons are the main reasons for repeated pet skin diseases.
Feline ringworm-mainly a fungal infection, of which Sporocystis is the most common fungus in cat ringworm. When we treat tinea feline, whether it is oral fungus or fungal injection, it must be maintained for at least 5-7 weeks. Seeing that the cat's skin is no longer itchy, red, or shed, stop taking the medication. This is a wrong approach.
Today we are talking about another important step in the treatment of cat ringworm, which is skin repair!
Why does cat ringworm have cat skin? Everyone should know that it is a fungus, and normal cat's skin will not have cat tinea. When the cat's skin protection is reduced, then the fungus will start to act recklessly. Among the reasons for the decline in the cat's skin protection are trauma, moisture, Frequent bathing and lack of nutrition will cause the cat's skin protection to decrease.
So when we treat cat skin diseases, whether it is fungi, mites or bacteria, in addition to targeted drugs, it is also important to repair the skin's protective ability, because if the cat's skin protective ability is not, then we will After the cat's ringworm is cured, it will recur after a period of time. Only when the cat's skin protection ability is repaired, then it can resist the fungus by itself, so that the cat's ringworm will not recur.
When treating cats or dogs with skin diseases, veterinarians will prescribe lecithin, or unsaturated fatty acids, or some vitamins. I believe many pet owners don’t know what this is for. Some owners do I think this is because the pet doctor charges more, but everyone is wrong. These things are used to repair the cat's skin.
How can the skin restore its protective ability? Increasing nutrition and vitamins are the key. A large part of cat and dog skin diseases are due to picky eaters and malnutrition. Therefore, when cats have skin diseases, we can add vitamins to it is a very important step.
In fact, there are not many products on the market for supplementing vitamins for dogs. Most of them are lecithin, seaweed powder and other health products. You can find veterinary grade multivitamins with national veterinary drug batch numbers in pet hospitals or major e-commerce companies. B solution, vitamin B complex oral medicine contains VB1/VB2/VB6/VB12, of which VB2 and VB6 are the main vitamins for repairing the skin's protective layer, which can promote cell oxidation, regulate sebaceous glands, and provide adequate nutrition to hair follicles, especially some If cats do not grow hair after skin diseases, supplementing vitamins VB2 and VB6 can provide sufficient nutrients to the hair follicles so that the hair can grow again.
Vitamin B2 is also one of the vitamins to maintain cat's oral health. Cats' mouth ulcers and stomatitis can be supplemented with vitamin B complex to repair the oral mucosa.
Vitamin B1 can also promote the cat's appetite and increase the utilization of food. Only when the cat's appetite is good, can he eat more nutritious food, and the food eaten can be fully absorbed and utilized, then his body can be better. Nourishment, skin and hair can be healthier, so this vitamin has a very important function for cat skin repair.
Pet doctor teaches you how to choose pet medicines and health products
When choosing B-complex vitamins for cats or dogs, the liquid is better absorbed than the ointment, the ointment is better than the tablet, and the liquid is better for cats than the tablet.
Everyone supplements cats with fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin A, so you must pay attention to accumulation and poisoning and pay attention to the supplemental dosage.
When choosing medicines for cats, because they are more picky than dogs and more difficult to feed, then you must choose medicines that are more palatable and easy to feed.
For therapeutic drugs, choose multivitamin b, then it is recommended to choose products for veterinary use and have national veterinary drug batch numbers.
When supplementing vitamins for cats or dogs, don't just supplement one of them, because each vitamin is related to each other. If one vitamin is supplemented, the other will be less. Therefore, to supplement vitamins, choose a multivitamin is the best!
Many owners will supplement cats with vitamins when they have skin diseases. However, there is a misunderstanding that they wait until the cat's skin is not itchy or red before starting to supplement. In fact, this is wrong, because vitamins are not compatible with others. Like medicines, cats will take effect immediately after eating them. It has a process, so the veterinarian recommends that you add vitamins to your cats while treating cat ringworm!
In fact, vitamins have many functions, such as cats or dogs shed hair, rough coats, and dandruff on the skin. Vitamins can be added to them to repair them. Of course, you need to pay attention to the choice of bath liquid and the number of baths. Remind everyone that when supplementing vitamins, you must follow the veterinarian's method to take it, so the effect will be better.
