The symptoms of ringworm in cats may go unnoticed, since the small, red,
circular lesions develop on the top layer of skin, and are easily hidden beneath cat fur.
You may see scaly patches, inflammation, and hair loss around the area of
the circular lesions.
Pets with a ringworm infection have
circular lesions on their limbs and head.
Cats carry ringworm on their fur more frequently than dogs and are typically asymptomatic; dogs will almost always show signs of the infection, such as raised,
circular lesions and hair loss.
This may cause crusty,
circular lesions, but in cats, it is often a condition with no signs.
A hot spot is an area of inflamed, infected skin that is typically
a circular lesion located on a cat's head, neck, tail, or thigh
As
these circular lesions enlarge, the central area heals and hair may begin to regrow in the middle of the lesion.
