If a pregnant female cat is infected with ringworm, it will cause great trouble to the female cat and the fetus. Below we will introduce several effective methods to deal with pregnant female cats having ringworm.
1. Confirm the symptoms After a pregnant female cat has ringworm, it is necessary to confirm the symptoms first. Symptoms mainly include itchy skin, round spots on the head, skin desquamation and hair loss, etc. At this time, you need to take the female cat to the veterinarian as soon as possible to confirm the condition.
2. Keep clean. Ringworms are prone to hiding on the close contact of pet stray cats, cats going out, feces, fur, floor blankets, etc. Therefore, in terms of treatment and prevention, we should start from the following aspects: environmental sanitation and cleaning of cats, such as frequent blanket replacement, air disinfection, isolation and infection of cats, etc.
3. Use medication for treatment. When a female cat has ringworm, she should take the cat to the pet hospital for skin sections to confirm whether it is ringworm. Select appropriate local medicines such as water, ointment, lotion and other local medicines according to the examination results. During the treatment period, you should also pay attention to giving your cat more nutritious foods to improve resistance.
4. Stay away from the danger of infection. After having ringworm, pregnant female cats need to stay away from other cats and cats to hug and touch them, and isolate them in a beautiful environment to prevent cats from being infected. During the period when the female cat is quarantined, pay attention to strengthening sanitation and disinfection of the isolation area and avoiding cross-infection.
5. Regularly check the treatment effect. After the treatment finds that the condition can be relieved, it is still necessary to take the pet to the pet hospital for regular review.
