Is that redness in the skin, raised and round ?

Hindoli Biswas Maity · Answer

Little raised and almost a round shaped;pls check the 2nd picture;

Dr. Sharmila Rai · Answer

The pic is not so clear but could be ringworm infection. Is she licking it often?

Hindoli Biswas Maity · Answer

Yes suddenly she started overgrooming

Dr. Sharmila Rai · Answer

You can use anti fungal shampoo like Micodin shampoo to bathe her once a week. You can also apply kiskin cream twice a day but put a elizabethan collar to prevent her from licking it.

Hindoli Biswas Maity · Answer

She is just 3 months old , will these medications help ? And More frequent bath won’t lead to more spread right?

Dr. Sharmila Rai · Answer

No it won’t lead to more spread.

Dr. Sharmila Rai · Answer

But you can always schedule a vet visit to have it physically checked.
