The symptoms are very variable: usually, the lesions resulting from the infestation are circular areas without hair, associated with the presence of dandruff and scabs.
Early diagnosis is very important, as the possibility of contagion of people and other animals in contact with the infected cat is high.
The treatment involves the administration of antifungal drugs for local and systemic use, for at least 4-6 weeks, and environmental decontamination.
