Fungal Infection Of The Skin in Cats

My cat has had a yeast infection for almost two years. I have taken her to the vet four times. The first one was about her rear she had pulled out almost all of her hair. The vet said get her spayed should clear up and gave her a shot to calm the itching. I got her spayed and it did clear up, only to return with more on her face. So I took her to the vet a second time got her seen and was given eardrops to use said to finish them. I did, it cleared up just to come back. The third time I took her in she got a btn ointment put on and was told to come back in in two weeks for a second application. Due to money at the time I wasn't able to take her in for the second application. It went away for a while then came back. This last time I took her in I was given an oral liquid I finished it. It didn't come back until about a month ago. I can't take her to the vet due to money and I don't have a ride. What can I over the counter I has spread from head to tail and I am afraid it will get to her stomach or worse? I believe it all started because the sister I was living with at the start of it all had had a beagle that had a very very bad yeast infection and the dog had infected the yard, the dog wasn't there when I lived there but had not to long before I did I believe. The vet has diagnosed my poor peace3 times each time differently. First ringworm then pustular acne then the last one was yeast not specified.

hello, my cat toby has a fungal infection as told by the vet, supposedly transmitted from a stray cat outdoors. We have been bathing him with medicated shampoo and applying ointments and his energy level has risen and he seems less depressed but recently he's been itching his face quite a lot and its all scratched up with bad spots and i feel quite sorry, i want your advice as of how long it'll take for recovery and why it reoccured on his face, thank you!

Is lamisil cream (Terbinafine HCl 1%) an enough medication for skin fungi in cats?
I found a small red batch on my cat's skin few day ago, and today it's a little bit larger and the cat is itching it all the time... I'm afraid it's going to make a wound.

My cat has two significantly bald patches on the inside of his back leg. There is no redness or bumps just lack of hair. He has always had a sensitive stomach compared to his twin brother and within this month has coughed many hair balls and sadly vomited frequently. He is still within a healthy weight but tubbier than his twin and I have to monitor his eating because he eats too quickly. At first I thought maybe he throws up because he eats fast but now I take many precautions to help with that, then I thought it may be the food he has grown an allergy to, now I'm not sure if maybe he may have ringworm because he has hair missing on his leg and I don't know if he has fleas. I want to spare myself a vet visit because if you think it is most likely an easy fix like worms and not an allergy I just want to buy good deformed medication myself and spare the visit, but if not then let me know. He lost a lot of weight in his vomit every day month. I gave him probiotic tummy treats every day but they didn't help but likes them. He doesn't throw up as much as he used to last month but he is still a frequent gagger and sensitive stomach cat. What do you think is causing his hair loss?

I have a persian kitten she have a skin deases I don't know but it also affect humans give rashes and my kitten all hair falls and not growing back what should i do?

I'm not sure if it is a fungal infection, I don't know how to describe it, But it looks swollen and is spreading, And it always raw and pusy. Almost like a blister.

My 3 weeks kittens have a fungus infection (Ringworm) they had it from their mum as she get it when she was pregnant and All the Vets I took her too said they cannot do anything until she give bearth and now the kittens had this infection badly than their mum. I already took them to a vet and she said she cannot do anything until they are 6 weeks old and the infection become worst and worst by days and it is all over their bodies specially the eyes. What you recommend me to do? And is the Lime Sulfur dips effective and safe to use on them or not?

Myself and my dog were infected by a stray cat we rescued with ringworm. I went to the doctor and took my dog and just to be safe both the rescue kitten and my cat. The vet asked if my cat was showing any symptoms and at the time he wasn't but now 2 days later, his eyes are discharging brown boogers and he seems very down/depressed, he's also not eating much.. Is it the ringworm or should I be concerned it could be something else??

We have 2 kittens 4 months old. 4 out of 5 family members now have different types of rashes on different parts of our bodies. it looks like tinea

the kittens do not have any signs besides lethargic.
do we take cats to vet then go to derm? how long after everyone gets treated so we steam clean the carpets, tile and a deep house cleaning?

Hello, my 10yr old cat Tammie started itching, licking, biting herself in spring last year. Ever since then she got steroids about 4 separate times (it worked each time, but I was told steroids can't be permanent as will do damage to liver). Despite having regular flea treatments I thought I use insecticides on the whole house (did it in June). After that she was itch-free for about 2 or 3 months. Of course I thought "that's it". When she started itching again, I did insecticides again in September. But this time it did not make the slightest bit of difference. So back to square one. Vets kept telling me I need a full allergy work up etc... I had that done in December. Costs over a £1000. Now results are back and apparently Tammie is allergic to 6 kinds of tree pollen and some funghi spores (Candida Albicans). Vet asked me if I had guinea pigs. I said no. He said these spores are all around in nature and can get inside with an open door or window, and can't clean them because they get into every nook and cranny. He said I could have same "anti-allergenic" specific to Tammie developed to desensitize her. (Probably won't be covered by insurance, have no idea what that would cost). But, thinking logically, if pollen and funghi spores were the culprits, how come she was itch-free for 2 or 3 months this summer?? I'm not sure I trust the results. What do you think?

Willie is very ill. He's lost a lot of hair and it's breaking off. Two hours ago I saw the thick white stuff around each ear. Then I saw it covering his left arm up to his shoulder and it's tender. He's lost weight,not eating, sleeps all day. Three days ago I discovered that one of my boys are peeing. Not sure if he lost control of his bladder or couldn't make tokitty or it's on purpose.
TONY- I didn't know he was sick until tonigh. He has gained weight or he's got edema starting to lose hair to. Now that I look back at behavior of my cats I feed the cats I've had this for at least four months. I just didn't know what was going on and I didn't realize that I had infection to.
I've discovered that My daughter and I have some kind of skin fungus. We haven't been seen by a doctor yet. Once the doctor discovers what strain of fungus it is will it be the same fungus that my cats have and possibly my dog. Also I have five birds can they get this as well? I know they can carry a certain type of fungus. I would like to do a natural treatment for my animals. I know Teatree Oil can't be used on dogs so I don't assume that that's an option. I know I can use vinegar on animals and that's also one remedy but I don't think it's going to be strong enough for them. I've never seen a fungus that has the symptoms I have. It's as if it's built up inside me and is pushing a dark green splinter out of my skin arts mainly on my face but it's also ripping my skin open. 😱

The vet check my cat with a kind of light and he told me that it has fungus infection in her heat I can’t identify it. I’m giving her the treatment but Should I isolate it especially I have another cat and children

My husband and I have been dealing with ringworm. My Persian cat once tested positive for spores about ten years ago and we had him treated. We brought him to the vet and they said the only thing that came up on the culture was a "grey colony" which was not infectious to humans. However, she couldn't elaborate on what a "grey colony" could be. I don't feel satisfied and feel like for $100.00, I should have a more direct answer. Any idea as to what a "grey colony" could mean? Thanks

i have three animals a shitzu mix and saint bernard and a tabby cat my saint had ring worm a couple of days ago and is cured now well my cat has a really bad smell to her its not the litter and i have given her two deep clean baths and the smell still sticks around. my cat is about ten and has been to a vet that i know of what is the best way to handle it.

My cat, Mo, started getting these bumps on the outside, bottom of his ears, and the outside corners of his eyes several months ago. They just look like bumps for many weeks, and then they suddenly burst open and bleed. After bleeding, they go down and away, but resurface again. The vet gave me an ointment to apply, but I think it just caused them to go down a little quicker, and then they still resurface. At first, I thought the first time he got one, that my other cat had scratched him, and that's why he was bleeding, but more and more he gets these bumps that bleed. He does also lose hair where the bumps grow on the corner of his eyes, but not on his ears where the hair is thinner. I've been searching and searching, trying to figure out what is going on, but I can't seem to find anything that completely matches this. Other than these bleeding bumps, he's an extremely healthy, fit cat of about 7 years. He's always in a good, loving mood... no breathing problems, he eats and drinks, no diarrhea or bladder problems.. Please help! My mom thinks he has cancer, and I would just be devastated. He's as close to a therapy cat as you can get and I cherish him. Thank you!

Layli had some redness over her eyes plus ear infection. Vet diagnosed yeast infection on the skin and bacterial infection on her ears. Since she is 8 weeks old, Dr. Didn't give medication, instead prescribed shampoo treatment for 3 days. After 3 days, she lost a lot of hair over ears, chest and belly while having very pink skin. Is she showing worse symptoms or shall I wait? Should she take oral medicine because Dr. said it will damage her lever?

Hello! Can you tell me what type of fungus is in my cat? I've been applying Elica-M cream on him for 5 days now, but I don't know if he's getting better or not. The hair started falling off after I started his medication, but he's acting normally otherwise. He got a fungus infection after a fight with a Stray cat.

My cat has been suffering fungal infections on his skin for one month.The fungal infections occur as wounds on skin like the blood coming out continuously from it with yellow seeds.So,i went to a vet near my place to check the problem. They checked with a torch and said he's suffering a fungal disease.They gave us a shampoo to bath him twice a week. They also gave a kentoconazole cream to put on his skin twice a day. But they didn't give injections and tablets to my cat. It's been a month but nothing looks better for him till now. What should I do? Please suggest me a good fast treatment to recover my cat fast. I'm too worried about him.Do he need some injections and medicines to recover fast? How long it will take to be a good cat again? How many times do he need to shower a week?Please help me to save his life. Thanks you so much for your time.

My cat had kittens on may 4 they are 3 weeks old now and I noticed last week that one of them had a dry crusty patch of skin on his neck and an eye infection. I took him to our vet where they gave him a topical ointment for his eye and an oral antibiotic for the crusty skin. She said it looked like he had been wounded and it was healing but now it’s on 3 other kittens so 4 out of six have these crusty skin patches on their chin inner ear neck and one paw. Any idea what this could be? They do not seem to be in any pain they are eating fine and momma cat has no lesions or anything like what they have.

I have a 3 months old Persian kitten. He has got some skin infection it started from one ear. Now it is in both the ears and one paw.
The skin of that area has become flaky and dry and the fur is falling off in patches as the flaky skin falls off. The infection is in the inner lining of the ears too.after the falling of the flake the area is pinkish in colour but there are no bumps kind of stuff. Is there an oral medicine I can give him to kill the infection.

Can I just bring in a stray cat to a vet's office? It's been living in my backyard and does not h ave a tail. It has an open wound with puss leaking. The spot where tail once was bleeds and then it dries up into scabs. Then it peels and bleeds again. Have seen it go through that for a couple of months now. Afraid to take it in because of bleeding

what are signs a cat is healing from fungus? my cat lost hair over his eyes about three weeks ago and it started spreading, onto his cheeks, and two front legs. the one on his eye started turning pinkish with white things spreading on it, and now is becoming between purple and grey, but the leg one appeared late and hair was already lost from doing a surgery because he was about to die from eating whiskas, but on that part it became turning more pink and is still there. his cheek remained the same with no noticeable changes. after the first week of the spreading of fungus, we went to the doctor and they told us that we need to give him some medicine, and a medical bath once a week, and said they will put vaccination to speed the process up, but we declined because natural healing is better and we need to see if he is improving.

My kitten (Persian) 3 months old is diagnosed with fungal infection in skin 17 days back and started treatment immediately, ivermectin injection and an oral tablet was given to Continue for 10 days. And a cream was also prescribed to apply on a daily basis. I have continuously done the same for 10 days and today being the 10th day the kitten again lost fur from a different place. What could be the reason for continuous hairloss despite providing the treatment?

Hello! A week ago my cat, Felix, fought with a stray cat, and he got some minor cuts in his head. I started to notice since then something like a dandruff and when I took him to the vet he said he's beginning to have a fungi infection. He told that it's alright to touch him,, but I read online that fungi could transmit to humans by touch. Can I pet my cat without fearing to get infected? He only has the fungi on his head.

Hello My black cat, 8 years old, has dandruff and scabs down his spine and on his tailbone. In some places his skin looks reddish. His behavior is the same and I haven't noticed any decrease in his appetite. I have another cat and he doesn't have any dandruff or scabs. Both of my cats stay inside.
