Expert Answer

Cat ringworm is a fungal infection that can affect cats of any age, with weak kittens at higher risk. It causes patches, hair loss, and itching on the skin, and can spread to other pets and people.

Treatment includes antifungal medication, medicated baths, and topical ointments, and sometimes oral drugs. The course is long and needs patience, while maintaining cleanliness to avoid transmission and reinfection.
