My cat is indoors and always clean, even her ears.
Yes, it's infectious, but not fatal. It's more of a nuisance fungus as it attacks the skin of the cat, causes hair loss, scabs, flaky skin and even bleeding due to excessive scratching.
Cleaning ears regularly might not exactly have anything to do with ringworm, as the spores of the fungus are airborne and invisible to the naked eye. I believe she probably caught it during her stay at the vet during her surgery. Or from what the vet told me, could be due to change in food as well. Alternatively, some cats are born with ringworm, but in dormant stage, and it will show as they grow older. She's not scratching as much now, but she licks her hand and wipes of the antifungal cream, which defeats the purpose of applying it, that's why I've gotta use the e-collar for now.
Hopefully those spots heal within a couple of days there wouldn't be a need to use the e-collar anymore.
I donno why I thought about ears though, especially I have ringworm page opened & read before I replied. I hope your cat get better soon.Yes, it's infectious, but not fatal.

My cats also indoor too & generally their ears are clean but every now and then a couple of my cats do need help in cleaning their ears though. I just clean the outside, not in the ear canal.

dear kizwan
thanks for your concern
my cat had all of a sudden, became "90% normal" on saturday morning, the morning on which i was suppose to bring him back to the vet
as of today, he is getting better and better and more normal. i am really thankful. he is eating again and i did see him drinking as well. the thing is, whenever i have the time and resource, i will bring him back to have a scan to make sure what kind of garbage that he have in his stomach (which i hope wont happen). until then, i can only learn from this experience and hopefully be more caring and alert about his activities (especially to stop whatever that may harm him)
prior to that, just to share my experience, i have been feeding him with liquid aloe vera concentrate. i think it helped him tremendously. aloe vera is very useful for human gut health, it previously helped my wife with her long term gastric problem (a problem since born), and aloe vera "cured" her. i googled and found some info about aloe for cats. apparently, aloe can benefit cats as well
sorry that this may not be related to cats, but i wish to share about the benefit of aloe vera to us humans. if you have gut and digestive system problem, try aloe vera. its VERY good. especially to those constipated and suffer from gastric and gut problems
i will be monitoring my cat closely for the next week... i hope he is healthy again...
thanks again to everyone for the support and advice
meow!
It's nice to hear that. Thanks for the tips on the aloe vera. I feed my cats with ACV, mixed in their drinking water. It have helped my cats a coupe of times. I will need to read on the aloe vera.thanks for your concern
