My kitten has large-scale hair loss; a small clinic said ringworm and gave cream, but now it won’t eat, lies in the bathroom, moves slowly, is listless with dull eyes—is it from licking the medicine?
Ringworm treatment uses antifungals (terbinafine, compound ketoconazole, itraconazole) that irritate gut and liver/kidneys; licking causes lethargy, vomiting, appetite loss. See a vet to reduce organ damage; use an E-collar during treatment.
I applied clotrimazole and iodine to my kitten, it escaped the collar and licked the cream, will it be poisoned?
Clotrimazole is a topical antifungal; one small lick usually does not poison, but eating a lot over time can harm the liver and gut with vomiting or jaundice. See a vet if signs appear, and always use a collar during treatment.
What Cream Works Best for Cat Ringworm?

What to Pack When Traveling With Your Cat
A calm trip with a cat comes down to packing right: a well-sized carrier, pee pads, pet (not human) wipes, food and water, comfort treats and toys, a leash, weather layers, and a small med kit covering disinfectants, digestion aids, anti-diarrheals, and antifungal cream. Skip human wipes — the alcohol in them makes a cat sick if it licks itself clean.
My Kitten Has Patchy Hair Loss and White Flakes – Is It Ringworm?
The photo suggests ringworm is possible, but skin disease needs more than a photo. Use a Wood's lamp for green fluorescence, or a vet skin scraping. If ringworm, clip and disinfect with iodine, then apply an antifungal cream (terbinafine or ketoconazole) and use an Elizabethan collar.
What should I do if my cat has ringworm on its ears and face?
Once ringworm is confirmed, treat actively to stop spread. Isolate the cat and use an Elizabethan collar to stop scratching or licking. Keep the home clean and ventilated, disinfect often, especially where the cat stays. Use the right medication: disinfect the skin, then apply a pet antifungal cream with terbinafine hydrochloride or compound ketoconazole. Daily add vitamin B complex and fish oil.
There are hard spots behind the neck and under the hips, and the nose keeps sneezing.
From the photo, the cat may have a respiratory infection and ringworm. Eye/nose discharge suggests a cold or feline rhinotracheitis; the crusts and dandruff on the neck suggest ringworm. Kittens have weak immunity. Use antifungal cream for ringworm; see a vet for the respiratory signs, and if it's rhinotracheitis, add lysine.
A seller said it was a birthmark, but I later suspected skin disease.
The photo shows scaly, spotted ringworm likely from fungus; a birthmark is usually smooth, so rule it out. Clean and disinfect, try antifungal cream, and watch for improvement.
