Mondo Health Updated on 2024-03-05

Recently, a fan asked us about his cat's rotten nails. In this regard, we first expressed our understanding of the parents' concerns, and asked in detail about the cat's relevant medical history and living conditions in order to make a more accurate judgment.

Cat nail rot may be caused by fungal or bacterial infection, but the specific ** needs to be determined in combination with the time of onset, ** medical history, pain manifestations and medication and other information.

According to fans, the problem of rotten nails in cats was only discovered at noon today, which means that the progression of the disease may still be in its early stages.

In view of this, it is particularly important to detect and take measures in a timely manner, because early intervention often achieves better results.

Although it has not yet been confirmed whether there are other ** diseases in cats, considering that the cat's nails are closely related to **health, it is recommended to carefully check the cat's whole body ** condition to rule out possible nail lesions caused by the spread of ** disease.

The cat showed obvious pain and screaming, which strongly suggested that there was an inflammatory reaction or other pathological changes in the cat's nails, which further verified the possibility of infection.

Pain and discomfort can seriously affect the quality of life of cats and needs to be relieved as soon as possible.

The cat has not received any medication**, weighs less than one kilogram, has completed the cat triple vaccine and deworming treatment, and mainly feeds on cat food and canned cat food, and is in a decent mental state.

This information helps us understand the cat's basic health, but it does not directly explain the specific cause of nail rot.

Based on the available information, it is tentatively speculated that the cat may have local inflammation due to bacterial or fungal infection. However, in order to confirm the diagnosis, it is recommended to go to a professional pet hospital for microscopy and bacterial and fungal cultures.

At the same time, improving the living environment to a suitable temperature (22-24 degrees Celsius), keeping the ambient humidity at about 40%, ensuring environmental hygiene and daily disinfection, and using special broad-spectrum antiseptic ointment for pets with oral anti-inflammatory drugs for exploratory ** are also necessary countermeasures.

Feline ringworm has also been mentioned as one of the possible causes, and it does need to be confirmed by relevant tests. Ketoconazole ointment, as a drug commonly used for fungal infections, can be considered in cats, but it is important to prevent cats from licking and ingestion.

In addition, feline ringworm is contagious, so it is recommended to isolate and breed and strengthen environmental disinfection to avoid cross-infection.

For specific medication** regimens, parents are encouraged to complete their cat's information, including weight, medication history, and allergy history, so that they can make more precise prescribing recommendations.

It should be noted that although some medicines are available through online platforms, they should be strictly followed during use and ensure the safety and applicability of the drugs used in order to achieve the best results.
