My cat has a fungal infection on his skin from going outside. What should I do?

Hi Sara.
First of all, how do you know it is a fungal infection? If you took the cat to the vet and you were told it’s a fungal infection, you would also have been told how to treat it.
If you have not taken the cat to the vet, you do not really know it’s a fungal infection. You are guessing, which is not the thing to do.
Your cat could have poison ivy/oak or a variety of skin problems, some which can be dangerous.
Take your kitty and bring him to the vet. That’s the only way you will know for sure what is wrong with him. Maybe it is a fungal infection. But you will only know if a vet examines him.
Do the right thing and get him treated by a professional. His well-being is most important.
If money is a problem, there are shelters that also have clinics which are cheap. They will also let you pay on a monthly basis. Also, if it is only a fungal infection, it should just require one visit plus some medication.
Don’t guess when it comes to your pet’s health.
Good luck.
Treat it.
1) Take cat to the vet. May not be a fungal infection.
My cat had a rare form of skin cancer that initially started this way. Better to put him down than let him suffer if indeed it is not treatable.
2) Keep your cat INSIDE. They live longer, happier and healthier lives.(Yes, I learned this the HARD way…now,
dozens of animals later, I wouldn’t even THINK of letting my cats out)- they are extremely happy, healthy and have
tons to keep them busy)
I doubt she would get a fungus just from being outside. There’s probably some underlying condition. Take her to the vet.
You may think it is a fungal infection, and ringworm (fungal) can be picked up by going outside. But then again it might not be what you think it is. If ringworm, it is easily and cheaply treated, once a proper diagnosis is made. If not, then a vet can determine what the problem is, and provide the proper approach. Regardless, taking your cat to your vet is the best approach for a proper solution.
