Expert Answer

Cat demodex treatment is generally 3 to 4 weeks, with the time by infection degree and constitution. It needs long treatment and easily relapses, so keep medicating without stopping midway. For skin-only infection with small lesions, deworm and use mite medicine with oral antibiotics; for severe, large lesions, use injectable medication.

← Even after baths and deworming it still scratches often; this has lasted 3 months. I am not sure if it is ringworm; only the chin is a bit red, actually redder and a bit swollen than shown, nothing else. How often should a cat eat staple canned food? →
