What are the scabs on a cat’s body?

Expert Answer

From the photo, scabs may be ringworm or folliculitis. Use a Wood’s lamp; green glow confirms ringworm, then shave and use antifungals.

For folliculitis, shave, clean with saline, disinfect with alcohol or iodine, apply erythromycin; adjust diet to less grease.
