The difference between feline folliculitis and feline moss, why do cats get feline moss?

Folliculitis, also known as black chin, is caused by endocrine disorders, which is manifested by many small black spots on the chin, like cinders, and also occurs at the root of the tail of cats, which is manifested as the root of the tail always looks very dirty, as if it cannot be washed. The black spots on a cat's chin are not contagious, just like the blackheads on a person's nose. It doesn't matter if you have a few black spots on your chin, if it's inflamed, shedding, damp, or smelly, it's called folliculitis and needs to be **.

The same is true on the tail, which has tail fat glands, which can become inflamed if blocked, and in severe cases, they may become suppurated.

The ringworm of cats is a fungal infection caused by the ** infection, which is more common in malnourished and frail cats, and needs to be treated in time. First of all, you can use water to clean some ringworm spots, then disinfect them with hydrogen peroxide, and then spray meow spray directly to the ringworm spots.

The difference between folliculitis and ringworm in cats is quite large.

looked at the six or seven people in front of him, each carrying a cat bag in his hand. Out of curiosity, I asked them, and they were all covered in cat moss. Someone and cats have suffered from cat moss; There are cats who suffer from cat moss themselves; There are also people who get cat moss, but cats don't.

The hospital's solution is to take a medicated bath or spray, and if necessary, take medicine or injections.

I talked to the doctor about this topic, why do so many cats get cat moss and why?

First, the body's resistance is not good.

The focus of this reason is resistance, cats are animals, poor diet, poor living environment, can cause them to have weak resistance.

It may also be that the natural resistance is not strong, most of the parents are not very good, the cat's resistance has been roughly stereotyped, just like human genetic physical defects, even if the daily healthy diet, scientific work and rest, strengthen the body but can not make up for the problems caused by physical defects. However, this kind of cat physical problems are relatively rare.

There is also a saying that cats have never had cat moss since they were young, and there are no cat moss antibodies in their bodies, so they must have to let their bodies produce cat moss antibodies once. Let's just take a look at this statement, and the authenticity needs to be studied.

2. Environmental issues.

Cat moss prefers humid environments, as everyone knows.

Some cats are caused by the humid environment.

Therefore, these details of life need to be paid attention to: cats should be dried after bathing, the home should be kept clean as much as possible, and common kitchen supplies such as vinegar, oil, soy sauce and other things should be remembered to be cleaned after use, etc.

If the cat moss is born in rainy weather, a home dehumidifier is a good choice.

3. Cat physical hygiene problems.

Most of them happen to long-haired cats, and it is not easy for the cats to clean their own hair. It needs help, and it belongs to a walking "broom" at home, and everywhere it goes, the dust does not grow, and the dust runs on it.

Therefore, long-haired cats need to help it groom frequently, at least once a day, and bathe it once every three months.

And there are still places in the dead corners of the home that are easy to be overlooked, remember to clean them. Reasonable cats love these places, and it is easy to stay in these places for a long time because of the sense of security.

One of the more interesting phenomena is that cats don't get cat moss, people get cat moss. The doctor told me why:

Roughly speaking, it means that bad luck and poor physical resistance, cats suffering from cat moss can heal themselves, and during the self-healing period, people accidentally come into contact with its disease site and become infected. So it was born, cats don't have cat moss, and people get cat moss interesting things.

This is because the cat itself lacks nutrition, and the immunity is relatively low, the resistance is not good, plus their diet and living environment are not good, so this phenomenon is caused, in ordinary life, we must pay attention to keep the home clean, but also pay attention to the cat's physical hygiene, often give him a bath.

Cats' resistance is very weak, so they are very easy to be infected and have the symptoms of ** disease, so cats should supplement more nutrition and exercise more, and their health will be good.

Dear, this is cat moss.

Clotrimazole ointment can be used**.

There is a chance of infecting people.

Ask how to do it.

Apply to cats.

Less contact with cats.

Don't go and hold it.

In addition to taking medicine, it is better to have as little contact as possible.

1. The milk moss infected in the cat's mother when the kitten drinks milk, or is infected in the environment, but this is not in a hurry, and the strong resistance will recover on its own in two months.

Second, it may be that your cat originally carried feline moss and became an asymptomatic carrier, and it will break out when its resistance decreases.

Because some cats have a humid living environment, they usually like to play in the wild, and their resistance is relatively poor, and they usually don't like to bathe, so it is easy to get cat moss.

Because the cat's ** is very sensitive, he does not have enough resistance to some bacteria. But if you do some hygiene for your cat often, you won't get cat moss.

Cats are infected with feline moss caused by fungi. If the usual environmental hygiene is not done well, and the cat's resistance is low and the immunity is not strong enough, it will be transmitted to the cat.

According to my personal experience of raising cats, I think that after bathing the cat, it is not dried in time, and there are more times, and it may be because the cat is seriously deficient in calcium.

Feline ringworm is a disease caused by fungal infection in cats or humans, and its pathogenic bacteria mainly include Microsporum canis and Trichophyton barbae.
