My kitten has several ringworm spots on ears, mouth, eyes; I can spray terbinafine on the body but it licks the face – will iodine plus spray slowly cure it?
First get a fungal test to confirm ringworm; shave and clean the area, disinfect with iodine, then use vet-prescribed antifungal spray and vitamin B with a collar. Sprays with terbinafine or ketoconazole treat ringworm. If no improvement, add medicated baths and oral antifungals; with higher immunity and consistent medication it improves.
Cat bought a year ago; always has brown tears, frequent sneezing, clear runny nose, sometimes severe wheezing like something stuck, but daily life and health are fine, always lively
For a year, brown tears with sneezing, runny nose, and severe wheezing suggest upper respiratory infection, commonly feline herpesvirus (rhinotracheitis), but also chronic rhinotracheitis, bacteria, calicivirus, mycoplasma, or chlamydia. Take it for full respiratory exams, best a respiratory PCR panel, X-ray, and blood work, then treat by cause.
Found it vomited today; no other signs by day, now tongue out panting, after panting still humming, red eye discharge and tears but not red yet, yellow sticky stuff on nose; is it feline rhinotracheitis, can I medicate?
Your description may fit rhinotracheitis but not certainly; further tests are needed. Rhinotracheitis is an acute upper respiratory infection from feline herpesvirus with sneezing, cough, runny nose, more eye discharge. It resembles a cold and needs PCR to confirm. With panting, tongue out, and vomiting, first check for abdominal breathing and fever, and rule out heart/lung issues like acute pulmonary edema or heart disease.
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.
What are a Husky’s ears like?
Husky ears stand up, are triangular, with dense fur, color close to the body coat, and the inner ear is mostly white. At birth the ears droop, but after 8-10 weeks, as the ear cartilage develops, they stand naturally. Occasionally ear-raising is later, and some with a genetic soft-ear trait may never stand without help.
My Two-Month-Old Cat Still Has Folded Ears – Will They Stand Up, and Can It Still Get Sick?
Droopy ears at two months do not necessarily mean a fold-eared cat. If the parents carry the fold gene, the ears will not stand and the cat can develop limb deformities and lameness at any time. Other breeds may have droopy ears from calcium deficiency, injury, or weak ear cartilage.
