What medicine should be kept at home when raising a cat?
0 Jul 26,2025
Recently, the cats at home seem to have folliculitis. Owners who have never raised cats may think that the cat is seriously ill and needs to go to the hospital for treatment. In fact, folliculitis is not a serious problem, and cats can be treated simply at home. Cats will soon be able to get rid of folliculitis. So, how to treat folliculitis in cats? Let’s learn with the editor.
In fact, the treatment method is also very simple. Just cut the cat's fur on the affected area short and then clean it with a highly alkaline detergent.
The cleaning agents that can be used are:
1. Soap. You can wash the cat's tail with laundry soap (you can only wash the tail if the skin is not broken).
2. Alcohol. Use a clean cotton swab dipped in diluted alcohol to wipe off the black spots. At the same time, because alcohol has a disinfecting effect, it can also disinfect the inflamed skin. But some cats are very averse to alcohol.
3. Tea. Soak a piece of clean gauze in tea, then wring it half dry to wash your cat's chin.
Specific operation: Look at the cat's chin and you will find that the black spots are concentrated, sometimes one, sometimes several. When cleaning, focus on scrubbing the concentrated black parts. After scrubbing a few times, those black parts will loosen. Then wipe off those black things with force, and then apply erythromycin ointment (for external use, available) on the red skin. It has anti-inflammatory effect and can be listed as a regular medicine at home.) That’s it.
