The cat should be isolated first.
First, pet owners should isolate the cat. The purpose of isolation is to reduce the infected cat's activity range. In multi-cat households, isolation is the first step. The infected cat can be kept in a separate cage or room. The cat cage and areas where the infected cat usually frequents should be cleaned and disinfected with pet-specific disinfectant to prevent the fungus from escaping. After isolating the infected cat, measures can be taken to treat the ringworm.
Prepare your cat for full treatment of ringworm spots.If there is hair loss in the affected area, to make it easier to find and treat the ringworm, pet owners can trim the hair in the affected area to expose the entire ringworm patch. Next, prepare cotton swabs, iodine solution, and a topical antifungal spray. Some ringworm patches may have scabs; pet owners should not pick at these scabs. First, use cotton swabs and iodine solution to wipe and disinfect the ringworm patches. After disinfection, you can wash the patches with warm water. Then, prepare the topical antifungal spray and spray it directly onto the ringworm patches. Spray the spray onto each ringworm patch. When treating the ringworm patches, remember to put an Elizabethan collar on the cat to prevent it from licking the patches.
