My kitten, Chai, is now six and a half months old. I picked him up at home, his 3-month-old, and he had been infected with cat mold since then. When he came to my house, many parts were affected by the mold. His nose, ears, neck, limbs, and stomach were affected. I thought a kitten had a severe disease.
Chai has been receiving treatment at a veterinarian since two months ago. The doctor told me that Chai had a castration operation on the way, so it might take a long time to heal due to stress. Anyway, cat mold is a persistent disease, so I was told to cure it patiently.
I checked it at the hospital because the black light test showed that there was a part that glows. Cat mold was found in the ears, nose, hind legs, and stomach.
I was told to apply a Lulicon liquid by a pet shop before, but Ruricon liquid did not suit my cat. The Hibix ointment I chose alone did not suit my cat, either. Hibix ointment repeatedly made the affected area seem to be healed and get worse. If it is a mild symptom, it may be effective. It contains a little steroid, so long-term use is not desirable. I felt sorry for Chai that his thin skin had gotten rough.
I currently apply itraconazole as oral medicine, Hibiten as an ear disinfectant, and Lamisil cream to the affected area when it dries. Itraconazole is prescribed in powder form and mixed with paste food Ciao Churu. I give him a Ciao Churu at a particular time of the night, and he is in a good mood, so I am worried after stopping the medicine.
The vet shears the affected area every time he comes to the hospital. The nose and ears, and belly are the main ones. Now it is only ears. It doesn’t look lovely, so I want it to get better soon. Now his nose, limbs, and belly are getting better, and still, his ears are moldy. This looks better, but it will take a little longer.
It costs 7,000 yen to 10,000 yen every time we visit the hospital. They are a haircut, inspection, and medicine. The pet insurance will reimburse part of the treatment fee. We can’t have a pet if we don’t have enough physical strength, time, and money.
I was told by the pet shop that if you give him a little medicine, it will be cured soon. I liked Chai so much that I understood that there was no problem with the treatment. When I checked it on the internet or visited the veterinarian after I took him to my house, it seemed to be a severe disease, so I needed patience for the treatment. Especially when my wife saw Chai in the shop, she felt the encounter of destiny, and I had to take responsibility for the treatment of Chai.
