Antifungal

Signs and symptoms of fungal infections in cats include skin problems (most commonly owners report hair loss in patches), fever, lack of appetite and weight loss. Less common signs and symptoms include lameness, neurological signs, eye abnormalities, and difficulty breathing.

Treatment of fungal infections can vary depending on which infection your cat has contracted. The most common fungal infection in cats is ringworm and a treatment plan should be given to you after confirmation of ringworm by your veterinarian. Talk to a trusted veterinarian to find which treatment is best for your cat based on their specific condition.

Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin usually spread through contaminated surfaces or skin to skin contact with infected animals. Ringworm is zoonotic to humans so please seek the attention of your human physician if you have any concerns.

Cats can be infected with ringworm when they're exposed to infectious spores through contact with infected animals or contaminated objects and environments. This most typically occurs through breaks in the skin.
