Feline friend's fungal worry!
Burton Mail
|July 11, 2025
We acquired a four-month-old female kitten. Soon after, my young daughter developed red circular patches on her arms. The GP has diagnosed ringworm. Is this a common problem? Both the GP and our vet have started treatment and samples from the kitten have been sent off for confirmation.
It is not uncommon for GPs to ask the patient's vet to check the family pet as a possible cause of skin problems. Ringworm is a fungal infection, in spite of its name, and the fungus, overwhelmingly the cause in cats is Microsporum canis.
It was first isolated from dogs in 1902, hence the name, but it most commonly infects cats.
