Is ringworm in a two-month-old kitten classified as ringworm?

Cat ringworm in kittens that are two months old is not classified as ringworm. Ringworm is caused by bacteria breeding after milk remains on the face of a kitten. Therefore, ringworm is only found on the face of kittens, while ringworm is caused by acquired bacterial infection. Produced by the fungus, it is dispersed throughout the cat's body.

Tip:

Although mange tinea is not cat tinea, the treatment methods are the same. Kittens can be treated with cat tinea spray or ointment. .
