Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions precisely. The dosage depends on your cat’s weight and the severity of the ringworm infection. Typical dosages range from 10 to 20 mg per pound of body weight, once or twice daily. Your vet will determine the best schedule for your cat.
Griseofulvin is usually administered orally. Many vets recommend hiding the pills in a small amount of palatable food, like wet cat food or tuna. Ensure your cat consumes the entire dose. If your cat consistently refuses the medication hidden in food, your vet might suggest using a pill pusher or liquid formulation (if available).
Consistency is key. Administer Griseofulvin for the full duration prescribed by your veterinarian, even if you see improvement before the treatment ends. Premature discontinuation can lead to relapse. Monitor your cat for any side effects, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in appetite. Report any concerns immediately to your veterinarian.
Regularly inspect your cat’s skin during treatment. Note any changes in the lesions, and report them to your veterinarian for assessment. Maintaining a clean environment for your cat helps in preventing reinfection and supports the treatment’s success.
Remember, this information is for guidance only. Always consult your veterinarian for personalized advice and to discuss the most suitable dosage and administration method for your cat’s specific needs.
