🐾 Case of the Day: Fungal Infection in a Kitten 🐾
This little one came in with hair loss and crusting on the ears. Under the Wood’s Lamp (UV light), the affected areas glow green — a classic sign of dermatophytosis.
🔎 Important Reminders for Pet Parents:
✔️ Ringworm is fungal, not a worm 🌀
✔️ It is zoonotic → can spread to humans and other pets
✔️ Healing takes weeks to months — but with patience, your pet can fully recover 💕
✔️ Cleaning and Disinfection is important
📌 If you notice bald spots, scaly patches, or itching on your cat, consult your veterinarian right away!
