There Is a Bald Patch Near My Nursing Mother Cat’s Genitals That Feels Rough Like Ringworm; What Medicine Is Safe for the Kittens?
If a lactating mother cat has ringworm, isolate her from kittens to prevent spread; feed kittens with goat milk formula. For the mother, shave fur around the spot, clean scabs and scale with hydrogen peroxide, apply antifungal medicine. Boost her nutrition to recover faster.
My cat has a scab on top of its head—is it ringworm, and what medicine should I use?
Baldness with a scab on the head is not necessarily ringworm; it could be trauma. Shine a Wood's lamp—green fluorescence suggests ringworm, treated with antifungal ointment. No fluorescence means possible trauma or other infection; try iodine, use a collar, and keep up external parasite control. See a vet if no improvement.
What medicine should you buy for a cat with ringworm?
Cat ringworm is a fungal skin disease, so use antifungal medicine containing ketoconazole, itraconazole, or terbinafine hydrochloride, such as pet-specific ointments and sprays. For severe whole-body infection, daily oral itraconazole may be used. Before applying, shave and clean the area, disinfect with iodine, then apply the antifungal, and add vitamin B and environmental disinfection.
I applied ringworm medicine and now my cat drools and loses mouth fur. What is wrong?
Mouth fur loss is skin disease; licking the antifungal medicine causes drooling and possible toxicity. Use a collar, do not apply near the mouth; see a vet for oral meds.
My cat had ringworm on its back, then I applied medicine. It scabbed, so I removed the collar, and today this is what it looks like.
From your description and the photo, this is skin damage from scratching. During ringworm treatment the Elizabethan collar must be worn strictly because the healing scab still itches intensely and scratching causes secondary infection.
How to give a cat deworming medicine?
Tasteless or sweet tablets can go in food or freeze-dried treats; if the cat spits them out, use a pill shooter, opening the mouth and pushing the pill deep, then hold the mouth closed until it swallows.
Why Does a Cat Vomit After Taking Deworming Medicine?

My cat licked deworming medicine a day ago and now has dilated pupils but nothing else — what should I do?
Dilated pupils after a cat licks deworming medicine can be a sign of poisoning. Watch closely; if rapid breathing, agitation, twitching, or vomiting appears, take the cat to a vet at once for emergency care such as IV fluids to flush the drug out. Delayed treatment risks irreversible harm or death.
