Cat moss usually grows on the cat’s face, body, limbs, and tail. Round or oval moss spots will appear on the affected area, dander and hair will fall off, and the hair will become rough. Itching, the cat constantly tickles or rubs its body against walls or other objects.
After confirming that the cat has cat moss, it is best to shave the hair around the affected area and then use a cotton pad dipped in warm water to gently wipe, being careful not to apply too much force After wiping it clean, you can apply for the medicine. Dip the applied skin ointment with a cotton swab and apply it to the affected area. You can also spray it directly on the place with cat moss. Remember to put an Elizabeth ring on the cat after taking medicine. Avoid poisoning and vomiting by preventing them from licking the medicine on the affected area.
At the same time, the surrounding environment should be disinfected regularly, and the supplies, toys, and other items that the cat has come into contact with should be disinfected to prevent the cat from contacting other cats and family members in the house and causing infection. Daily nutritional supplements are also to be done. You can give cats nutritional creams and canned cat food, which can help cats enhance their resistance.
Since cat moss is contagious, if there are other cats in the house, they need to be isolated and disinfected as soon as possible. For sick cats, it is best to wear gloves when applying for medicine and disinfect after applying for the medicine. The home should also be disinfected and cleaned regularly to ensure that the cat’s environment and the objects it touches are clean.
