How to Treat Generalized Skin Infections on Cats

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มี.ค. 2019
- Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to my Channel! In this video I am sharing a case on skin allergies in cats and demonstrating a treatment plan used commonly on cats. This video has very graphic footage of a black cat named Luna who has a severe Generalized Skin Infection, skin allergies due to Flea Allergy Dermatitis, and Feline Herpes Virus causing eye conjunctivitis and even loss of her left eye. Feline Herpes Virus in cats is extremely common with about 98% of cats carrying the virus. Feline Herpes Virus is not contagious to humans. The treatment plan for Luna consisted of a long acting injection antibiotic, Zymox Hydrocortisone spray to alleviated itchiness and skin inflammation, and antiviral eye drops to treat Feline Herpes Virus. An anti parasite flea topical product is also always mandatory in cats with obvious flea infestations. Luna was such a sweet cat and so cooperative for this video and we both hope you enjoyed it! Please share this video and let your friends know about my channel if you're liking it! Thank you again, Dr. Lindsay Butzer.

In such bad shape and still so friendly. She would become my indoor cat. What a sweetie pie.
Thank you for taking her in, she seems to have a very loving soul and god bless you for it, she deserves a loving home
Oh yeah I'm sure she'd love to be stuck inside and be your inside cat No fresh-air Sunshine walking in the grass yeah
@@chrisphillips8466 she did not take it in she said "would" .. LOL
@@coredadventure1 I adopted a stray and it doesnt matter if its the nicest day of the year he wants to come inside. Cats love been inside.
@@Razormiller they like both ....of course. Inside is their comfort zone but all animals need sunshine and fresh air and the feel of the grass
Awww...she has the best little personality. Despite being a stray in the streets. What a cute girl. I love her! 💕
I'm so glad she was able to get to a vet where she can get some love, attention, and medicated. 😃🐱🐈
Wow. She’s so friendly and well behave for a stray cat ♡︎
She was DUMPED outside by the person who meant the world to her!
My goodness... That's the most beautiful and friendly stray ever! 🤗
haha well she needed lots of medication and treatment and looks even better now.
DOCTOR LINDSAY my cat is growing some whisker type white hair on its back, is it normal?
Black cats are usually super friendly! Mine never leaves my lap!!! 😻
She just so happy and grateful to get some attention and care from the cute doctor! 🥰❤ And yes, black cats are usually very sweet in my experience...
Thank you for helping her! This Luna reminds me of my precious baby. When i got her at the shelter she had so many issues like herpes in her eyes, FIV, and cuts/scratches all over from living on the streets here in Chicago. She was so aggressive with *all the staff & other cats/animals* in this "no-kill shelter" that they were going to send her somewhere else to be euthanized (prevent spread of FIV on streets & shelters thru aggressive behavior). Somehow by the luck of the Irish 🍀 i randomly came in after a horrible failed engagement 💔 with newborn that wasn't mine after spending the last 9 months sober working 12hr days 6 days a week. I was at wits end and ready to give up on life. I specifically asked for one that had as many problems as me so that we could maybe help each other out a lil. So they led me to a small room away from everyone/everything else and warned me before i went in that she might bite or scratch me. But instead when i went in, we locked eyes and she just sat there. So i slowly approached her and held my hand out for her. She started purring and rubbing her head on my hand. The staff member said "dude... What the f***..?" I was a lil curious why they were so convinced she was so mean. They told me her horrible sad background story. Even though i worked alot, i also spent alot of time on the street and been thru alot, and i think we just vibed. So i took her home and after a s*** ton of expensive 🫰 treatments and love 'n' care she's just been the love of my life. When im not working she latches on to me like my shadow and vice versa. She even blocks the door and unties my boots as i try to lace them to go to work, which melts me and occasionally makes me late. One time in the middle of the night i couldn't sleep and she saw a tear running down my face so she literally wiped the tear from my face with her tiny lil paw. She's the best thing that ever happened in this world🤌. The first year or so she was still very very aggressive to anyone else that came to my apartment but now she is just a total sweetheart but a lil shy around strangers.
Anyways thanks for helping these cats that some people rather give up on. 👌
that kitty was fortunate to find someone so caring
What a precious kitty ❤️❤️❤️❤️ she deserve a loving family ...
Thank you! she was sooo sweet and did end up getting loving home!
@@drlindsaybutzer thank you for taking care of her ❤️❤️❤️❤️
If I pickup a rubber glove, my cat gives me a dirty look and sneaks away quickly. I can't believe these videos where the cats seem to love being dipped in sulfur, and injected with needles. My cat is really friendly, and cuddly. But when it comes to washing, or clipping her hair, she whines and complains constantly.
Poor little darling- thanks for taking care of her ❤️
Poor baby. She must feel soooo much better!! God bless you 💜💜💜
Luna is so sweet! I hope she found a loving forever home.. She still has so much love to give. She deserves someone who'll give that to her too. Thank you for caring for her so well. I didn't realize til I read the description notes that she also had lost an eye. I know this is an old video but still, I pray she got a loving home that she so deserves. Seems like many of us here in the comments are in love with Luna. ♥♥♥
Such a SWEET kitty. Love her! Praying she has an indoor home to go back to.
Bless you Dr. Lindsay. This video is really helpful. Thanks.
She is super friendly. Loved the cat
Madam, you are a god among us.
Watching you and this innocent little animal who doesn't know any better, is just something so sweet that it can make me smile and give me peace even if I am literally torn to pieces....
I have the deepest respect for people like you, and believe me they are in short supply in this wretched world....
May god look after you 🙏🙏, your loved ones, your loved stray animals and every animal on this planet, may they fill your life with positivity, optimism and endless power to make others live's better.
All power to you madam.....
That cat is so lovable
u r such a cool doc. for treating this beautiful stray cat.
Doc you are beautiful 😻 I am treating my rescue kitten for ringworm now, not fun at all having to decontaminate my entire house after finding out she had it 🤦♂️Luna looks like a sweet girl.
You are an angel Doctor Lindsay.
thank you so much for helping her , Bless you , what a Blessing you were for this kitty..i know she must have felt some relief right away too. such a loving & friendly girl , i hope she finds a stray human thats just as loving & friendly out there , that can provide a safe home for her , that she can adopt..
my cat, an abandoned stray, cruised the neighborhood at our apt. complex looking for a home. SO sweet and loving too, but also timid of strangers. He'd been abandoned, hurt, lived out on his own for two years - and never stopped being a lover. He chose me and saved my life. Luna deserves someone good and stable who won't abandon her. Come to think on it, I've never met an ill tempered black cat. My boy is old now - a black and brown tabby. These sweet souls deserve a happy home and loving care. Bless this vet!
@@b.bailey8244 thats so awesome! oh i love to hear stories like this . People who have never had kitties in their lives , have no idea what they are missing! When we rescue them & later thru our 20/20 hindsight is when we realize that it was them , that rescued you. I think its something they have a special gift at sensing, they can sense a searching heart thats been searching for love & companionship that didnt even know thats what they needed.. yes they find us. we probably would never have fallen for it , if they hadnt been such a mess,lol..Altogether , we have 4 of them . . They would have never made it . . Now they keep me too busy to worry too much on anything too long. .
Wonderful video! We're glad Luna is in your expert care.
What a beautiful little soul ....update on this little beauty please 💫✨🌙
Thank you. Your awesome for helping me take care my kitty Bageria. He's happy too. 😊
Awe im so happy this helped!
Thank you so much for this video! My cat has the same symptoms but its much more severe. Will be making an appointment to the Vet with the medicines you've shown. Hopefully it will help alleviate the scratching and get rid of the scabs.
Keep your cat indoors
2 years later I hope your animals and you are doing well - thanks for caring for these beautiful creatures!
@@bonjovirocks24 No!
Thats the best friendiest stray cat I've ever seen take a veterinary visit like a pro!
That cat has a lovely personality. Hope someone took her in.
my mom said a friend of hers's cat had a disease that was not curable, and that it was gonna die, and sores are the main symptom. so now my kitty has it and i'm freaking out because she's such a sweet girl, she can't go now :(
Great video! Very cool! Thank you!
Beautiful Doctor!!
What a lovely friendly cat.
Luna is such a good sweet girl
Thank you so! much! for making this video! I had no idea about the Herpes Virus in the eyes......did anybody catch what was in the eye drops? Did she say if it was over the counter? (like available at Petco or Petsmart?)
Thanks for this great video! We just rescued 3 kitties that were born under the porch of a friend and they all have skin issues. Heading to the vet today with them all but wanted to research before I get there. Just want to help these little babies out and give them a good life
How are they doing now? I know its been a whole year but still super curious 😊
@@user-hc4vq5tb5y they made a full recovery and are the BEST kitties! Very happy living on our farm. We have nine cats now, all active, happy, affectionate and playful.
Great educational video !
Sach a sweet and Relaxing voice of her
Have the same type of cat, almost to the "T", and with the same type of skin problems. When she came to us she had no hair on her whatsoever: Ring Worm. We have taken her to the Veterinarian and he has done everything for her that he could: no ring worm now. Now, 4 months in, she is still in trouble with her skin although all of her hair is back. She is one sweet cat, but she is still digging at herself most of the time. Great Video, FR
Has anything helped? I recently adopted a 15yo long hair cat and he's licking like crazy. Pulling out hair. I took him to the vet, no ring worm. But also no real help from them except a list of meds that 'might' help for $600.
wow, my cat would never let me do all that
the cat knew that she was getting help
What a friendly cat, seems like she’d be great in a home. Definitely a feral fail.
My wife is a retired RN, we use sub q Amoxicillin and get good results at our rescue home,,, only 9 cats at this time (4 kittens) the feral female turned out to be pregnant,,, kittens are great fun. Thanks for the information. I ordered Zymox, so we can give it a try.
Best patient EVER❤
Awww she’s adorable
Such a sweet girl!
Great video. I found your video when looking for help with a skin infection (fungus I believe) on our cat. We tried to treat it at home (before we knew what it was) with washing and anti-bacterial spray, but it didn't happen. We finally took her in to our vet and it was diagnosed as fungus (ringworm). So, now we'll be shampooing the regions and applying a spray. Here's hoping this will work. Thanks again.
Did it work? Also what spray did you use?
@@xxxxxx-xx1836 The shampoo is Micro-Derm from Pro Concepts, and the spray is Antimicrobial Wound Spray from Nutri-Vet. At this point, our cat still has the itchy spots, but we have another week of shampooing. So, can't really say if it has worked.
splashfizz hello, did it work?
@@charkswitlazers We ended up taking our cat in to the vet and the determination is that it most likely is allergies. But to what? We've been trying different foods and avoiding certain chemicals (air fresheners for example). Currently, we get the best results when we take the cat off of cat food that has chicken in it. So, that seems to be the best solution at this point.
Great video! Is there a follow up video? Id love to see how Luna is doing today =)
I wish I could get a video of her , she got a home and is so friendly!
@@drlindsaybutzer would you happen to know what a visit like that for a cat would usually cost in a general, ballpark rough estimate kind of way
She knows your helping her aww
What a wonderfully kind and cute cat ❤ get better, Luna!
Nice mem
Very happy to see this for pet
Pls share all useful video
Pls suggest any woundheal safe spray for cat having ear infection
Hello Doctor Linda , thankyou for helping these wonderful animals , there is a lovely stray cat in my area in the UK and she has the exact sam issue parts of her hair is falling out and she also has a little limp I can't reach a vet otherwise I would take her what do you advise I can buy online to put on her skin and eyes to help her ? I bought salmon oil to put on the food for her to eat what else can I do what do you advise . Thankyou for taking the time to read my message and I would deeply appreciate your response . Many thanks Fran
I hope someone gave that sweet kitty a home!
Yes they did! For a stray she was so so friendly. I think someone was feeding her
u r the most beautiful doc.....
WOW Good cat Love her
That cat was amazing
She was a lover girl, sweet
Please update us on Luna ! 🤩
she’s so cute
From philippines i already fell i love with you doc. I have also pets and ilove also cats 😊😊❤️
That precious sweet girl needs an indoor home to provide daily love for her.
Thank you
What a friendly stray
With natural supplements I was Cured totally within 17 days of taking DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam medications. Thank you for saving me🤓
Not a feral cat. Glad she got a home
Yes, but do you need a prescription for some of those meds?
i have been treating a stray with Revolution for 3 months, but he still has resolved the skin issues although a minor improvement. selamectin maybe i should try the zymox spray cortisone spray.
Not having luck with Revolution either. Vets love it for some reason.
My hair thickness was very lower as compared to previous year due to smoothening. To regain back my hair I started using Cocoonion anti hair fall kit by littleeextra and it was successful in boosting hair density and hair growth. I would advise if you apply it then always wash your hair by mixing shampoo with some water before using as it performs much better in that way. Also when you apply oil then warm it a little and then massage on scalp. Apply it a minimum of once a week. Use neem wood comb while combing your hair and use silicon scalp massager while hair cleansing to get clean dirt, sebum etc and it gives even improved results.
You are an Angel

My mom "adopted" a feral cat that looks just like Luna.
We call her Squeeky,... she brought 6 soaking wet kittens to my moms porch during a storm, because my mom had been leaving food out for her.
It was not easy to catch her in the corner of the bathroom after the kittens were weened and I took her in to be fixed.
Supposedly she was given flea med when fixed but her neck and head is scabbier than ever.
Today I was only able to touch her 2 brief moments while feeding her wet food.
Thank you but is that anti fungal spray is safe to cats to swallow when they grooming???pls let me know and thanks👍🏻
I have a stray that I've diagnosed with pretty bad FAD, so I took him in, administered a tablet of Nitenpyram, and gave him a dawn dish soap bath, then sprayed "Pet MD Antiseptic & Antifungal Medicated Spray for cats" on him after he dried. But it doesn't say how often to do apply the spray. Recommendations? (I'm just a colony caretaker in the city, and there is little help available to strays where I'm at, I managed to get my colony spayed, neutered, and vaccinations, however after care is pretty much on me lately because the organization i previously worked with disappeared more or less :/ )
Yay ! Where's your office.? 🎉
What is the antibiotic shot? I thought I may ask my vet about that one for my cat. I know there’s Covenia, but I think my vet told me that one lasts for about 8 days.
I hope she wasn't just released back into the streets. Her friendliness and affection shows she was once a pet, and she probably got lost or was abandoned. She could make someone a good pet. Please try to rehome her.
oh you are nice i like you and cats help 😊😍
is sudocrem safe for cats just wondering if not what is the best thing for itchy skins and wound
Which flea medication was used? (:
Love your channel!
LeeLee Davis I like revolution! Because it takes care of intestinal worms and mange in cats! Thank you!!!
YOU'RE SO AWSOME
👍👍👍
That cat seems she might like a family and not have to be a stray
Carrie yes she is so sweet! She eventually did get a home!
I’m curious to know if there is anything herbal or natural you can do instead always having to buy a product from the shelf ?
I have stray with dermatitis that is getting painful. I know its a contradiction but she was a stray and I didn't have a cat mainly because I couldn't afford one. Anyway she didn't care and moved in anyways. So I did get her to one of those programs to get her a checkup and spayed. She has been pretty healthy until now she seems to have like this cornmeal dermatitis and he back and now around her neck and more.
I guess I was wondering if I could get those anibotics and the hydrocortizone spray to administer myself?
I'd love to know what bush you are using
My son loves a stray here in our neighbor hood. The poor cat is constantly scratching! Hes very friendly too.
can you Bring the cat to the vet for a first check up . have the poop checked for worms and the skin checked for fleas and then thats it. thank you ! Advantage works good for cats
@@drlindsaybutzer Thank you for the advise! I will tell my son.
Would like to know the name of the shot, flea topical and eye drops please.
My cat has reacted to the flea treatment with a little hair loss almost like this cat dermatitis, have you heard of this? Thank you my cats booster is tomorrow so hopefully this will help
That's when my cats issues started too. I used advantage 2. Then they both started getting what looks like allergic reaction. I thought it was flea dermatitis. So did a second treatment 4 weeks later . Now it's the same so I'm worried it's the flea meds. I guess off to the vet we go. Hope ur baby is doing better.
Hopefully someone can adopt her
poor baby i'd adopt her if she was in my state
My cats ran away as soon as they hear the flea drops tube opened.😂
Oh no!
So in 4 weeks, if returned to previous environment, would she return back to the same condition if not given fortnightly antibiotics and other treatments you performed today?
Hello Doctor! Please notice me. I have a kitten named Inari. I got her on the streets when she can barely walk; she was so small. Now she's 1 month plus old and she is suffering from military dermatitis I think, and it's so bad that her head and neck is full of scabs and crusts. I made a DIY cone for her not to scratch it using paper plates. I also clean it every day and dab it with coconut oil. Please help me, for I am just a student and cannot afford to take her in the vet.
This video gives me hope that blacks and whites can love one another
I have a rescue cat at my home exact copy of Luna, but she is difficult to give medications or apply local antibiotics... What do you recommend?
With natural supplements I was Cured totally within 17 days of taking DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam medications. Thank you for saving me🤓
Hi. Around how much is the cost for this visit? I need this treatment for my cat. Thanks
What did you mean by you knew she was a stray due to her ear notch? Also, you should do update videos or postings to Instagram of the animals that you treat in these videos!
Jasmine Ridl yes I should! This cat was put back outside in the neighborhood where she lives.
Ear notches are universally recognized as stray cats here in the states. Because the feral cat programs catch strays, then vets have the ears notched while the animal is undergoing surgery for spay/neuter. This way vets and feral cat program staff will know the cat is stray already been trapped to be spayed/neutered. People that monitor the feral colonies don't have to re-trap that cat then, and can focus on trying to get any more that enter the colony that aren't already notched. The spay/neutering will bring down the feral colony numbers, and eventually that colony will (in theory) cease to exist as the cats die off from old age or other diseases. But in the meantime at least they aren't contributing offspring to the colonies, which can become a very big problem very fast if they aren't spayed/neutered.
sassyNot4u ... i... I’ve now been educated
It's called TNR here for feral colony caretakers. Trap, Neuter, and Release, so they know that cat has already been neutered or spayed. I have a formal feral, they took half his ear off.
Questions please. I’m doing research on ringworm on my cat. She’s had it for a few months. I’m treating it with tresaderm a prescribed medication from her vet. I may be touching her ringworm and then touching her in other places and causing more ringworm. I’m very careful. I keep finding new spots. I’ve seen on TH-cam we can treat ourselves with basil to topically and with turmeric. Does anyone know if using these topically on cats are harmful (separately not together )
I need advice, my cat is an indoor cat and somehow fleas got inside onto her and spread between her and our other 2 cats, and I've noticed they scratch so much that they've developed these scabs and especially on their chin, I feel overwhelmed want to help them and I flea comb them and try to bath them as much as possible but it's hard when your cats put up a huge fight with baths.. would this spray help to heal their injuries on them including their chin? I would try to get to a vet but transportation is an issue
How can you be so relaxed when she tried to bite you?...don't you worry about rabies? I have rabies phobia and your answer might help....cause even vaccination would not help without PEP as I know
Hi, my Siamese cat has dry skabby flaky skin on its lower back on spine. Some red sores, can you please advise me.
My cat Lucy looks exactly like this cat. Her hair is coming out neck, rear legs and above tail, some on her face, I thought it was fleas but I use advantage 2 & flea comb as well as flea bath. Then I thought it may be allergic reaction to food I bought & nope did nothing. Now I guess we are off to our vet. We take care of tons of strays a couple have had watery eye discharge that's almost a brownish color when I clean it. Could it be due to herpes virus. I do what I can but I'm one woman on a budget, me and my 12 yo love cats.
Hi doc! May i know what antibiotics you gave to Luna??
With natural supplements I was Cured totally within 17 days of taking DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam medications. Thank you for saving me🤓
My Persian cat has blue colored growth in his ears and around both eyes. Is there any treatment?
Can i know what is the name of the medicine that you used to kill the fleas and treat her skin disease??
I have a calico female 3 years of age. She has allergies that have her itching, scabbingarpund face, neck, chin and sides of her head behind eyes leading to ears and her poor eyes get infected. This happens often . I've taken her to the vert several times, she's had shots, cortisone, ear drops, eye ointment but nothing seems to get rid of it for more than two weeks max, usually 5-7 days later she is itching and scabbing up again.
I've got her on a fatty acid diet from the vet. A brand they sell. Still showing the same results.
All I want is her to be comfortable and every visit to the vet is almost 300$. To do specific tests to find out what she's allergic to will cost me 1100$ at LSU and I just don't have that. Can anyone share a similar experience or guidance to help me know what to do for my Gretchen? She's such a sweet cat and so kind, it's not fair. I don't know what else to do for her.
She doesn't have fleas. Indoor cat. I comb her daily.
