Cat Ringworm

Healthy kitties are much less likely to suffer from cat ringworm. If your cat is well fed and gets a decent amount of exercise then you are less likely to see them pick this infection up. If you have an older, more sedentary cat that does not eat well, then this infection is more likely.

Your cat may pick up the fungal infection from other pets in your house or outside. The infection is relatively easy to control and is unlikely to cause your cat any complications other than the irritation to their skin and some localized hair loss.

How Do You Get Rid Of Cat Ringworm?

There are a few steps that you need to take. Firstly make sure that you disinfect your cat's bedding, bowls and toys. You don't want to clear up their infection only to have them pick it up again.

If you have other pets, then try to keep them away from the infected one until the fungus is back under control. I know that this is easier said than done, but it will help to contain the infection.
