Default Re: Ringworm Problem

Chucky, please forgive me -- I understand your question, but my BM is not good enough to reply. I hope you can understand my English.

My vet said kittens are too small -- cannot take anti-fungus capsules! This oral medication is very hard on the liver and kidneys. Use it only when shampoo and ointment/cream fail.

I also had a small kitten with very bad ringworm. 3 baths with Malaseb solved the problem. If you see fur growing back in the bare spots, the fungus is gone.

Please be very careful with the capsules -- not for kittens!

Best of luck to you and your cat...

Saya ada satu kitten long hair berusia 3 bulan lebih. Masalahnya skarang selepas membuat culture test found out ada Dermatophytes.

Vet suruh saya bagi kitten saya 10mg/day dimana ia dikira dengan formula 10mg/kg per day. Kitten saya berat dlm 1.65 kg.

Soalan saya adalah, adakah saya perlu beri ubat ini pada kitten saya utk menyembuhkan nya? Tidakkah memandikan nya dgn Malaseb sufficient? Dan jika perlu berikan ia itraconazole macam mana nak divide 100mg capsule to 10mg accurately?

Harap boleh bantu saya yg dlm dilema ini..
